This recipe is one of my mom's. We would have these often in the fall. I haven't made them in 10 or 12 years, so it was a blast from the past! Pumpkin Squares
12" dutch oven
1 box yellow cake mix (reserve 1 cup)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg
Filling
1 (29 oz.) can pumpkin
2/3 cup milk
2 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup brown sugar
Topping
1 cup reserved cake mix
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Mix the crust ingredients together and press into the bottom of a greased 12" dutch oven. Mix the filling ingredients and pour over the crust. Mix the topping and crumble over the filling. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until filling is set. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Serves 12.
The Finished Product
I forgot to take a pic of the cut bars. Sorry!!
The Review
These are super easy and yummy. I have to eat them with ice cream or whipped cream because they're pretty rich. I made them for my kids to eat after school, and they didn't last long. I had to hide a couple of pieces or my hubby wouldn't have had any. This was a staple fall dessert when I was a kid, so making these brought back memories! I have to give these an A just for nostalgia, but it helps that they are really tasty!
