1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar, divided

1 cup butter, melted
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F.

Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and remaining brown sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add pumpkin, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.
Pour cream cheese mixture over crust; sprinkle with reserved flour mixture.
Bake 35 to 40 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely.
Refrigerate 4 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. Use foil handles to remove dessert from pan before cutting into bars.
