Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup butter , or margarine, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 cup solid pack pumpkin

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

2 cup white chocolate chips

2/3 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Preparation

Combine flour, spices and baking soda in a small bowl.

Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in pumpkin, egg and vanilla until blended.

Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in 1 ½ cups of the white chips and the nuts.

Spread into a greased 15.5x10.5 jelly roll pan.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack and cut into bars or squares.

Place the remaining white chips in a heavy-duty plastic bag. Microwave on high for 45 seconds and knead. Microwave at 10-second intervals as needed, kneading until smooth.

Cut a tiny part of the bag’s tip and pipe the chocolate over the bars before serving.
