Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Squares

1) Heat oven to 325F. Mix cookie crumbs, nuts and butter; press into the bottom of a baking dish (13×9 in).

2) Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with a mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each, just until blended.

3) Remove 1-1/2 cup batter, set aside. Stir remaining sugar, pumpkin, and spices into the mixer batter.

4) Spoon half the pumpkin batter into the crust; top with spoonfuls of half the plain batter. Repeat layers; swirl together with a knife or toothpick.

5) Bake for 45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool completely and refrigerate for 4 hours. Cut into squares and serve.
