Heat oven to 350F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons margarine and egg. Mix at low speed until crumbly; stir in ¼ cup nuts. Press into the bottom of greased pan, and bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs until foamy. Add ⅔ cup reserved cake mix, ¼ cup brown sugar, corn syrup, 3 tablespoons margarine and maple extract.

Beat 1 minute at low speed until well-mixed. Pour over crust and sprinkle with ½ cup chopped nuts. Return to oven and bake 15 to 25 minutes or until golden brown (center will be soft). Cool completely; cut into bars.
