2 tablespoons margarine, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup maple flavored syrup

2 cups baking mix

1/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons white sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 C).

Mix cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and margarine or butter.

Reserve.

Mix brown sugar, nuts, and syrup in ungreased 13x9x2 inch pan.

Spread evenly.
