Pumpkin Pecan Bites

• 1 package spice cake mix (regular size)
• 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 36 pecan halves, cut in half
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
• Ground cinnamon

1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, oil, cinnamon, baking soda and cloves; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
2. Fill paper-lined miniature muffin cups two-thirds full. Press a pecan piece into each. Bake at 350u0b0 for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and mix well. Add enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
