Spicy Nut Bars
Mrs. Dorene Booth

1 package honey spice or butter brittle cake mix ( I could not find either one so I used Butter Pecan)
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
1/4 cup margarine, soft
1/4 cup sugar, packed ( Ok I got confused on this one , the only sugar that I know that packs is brown sugar, so that is what I used)
1/4 cup nutmeats ( I omitted this)
1/4 cup raisins or dates, chopped ( I used raisins, I don`t like dates.)
1 package butter icing mix ( This was another I could not find, I didn`t put any icing on)

Combine cake mix, water, eggs and sugar. Mix thoroughly. Blend in nutmeats and raisins. Spread batter on greased and floured 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees. Prepare icing as directed on package. Spread cake with icing while hot. Chocolate cake mix may also be used with this recipe. Use Use either caramel, white or chocolate butter icing mix.


Like I said this cake is good without icing.
