2 cups, flour
2 tsp, baking soda

(2) Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt).
(3) Gradually add combined dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture. Mix well.
(4) Stir in pecans.
(5) Pour the mixture into a greased, 15in x 10in x 1in baking pan (a 9in x 13in pan is also good). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
(6) Tint frosting with orange (made out of red, and yellow food coloring).
Frost baked, and cooled mixture, and cut into approximately 35 squares. For eyes, place two pieces of candy corn on each bar.
(7) In a small microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Transfer to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of the bag. Pipe dots on candy corn for pupils; and make other scary faces.
Bon Appetit!
