BeTtEr ThAn PuMpKiN pIe

by Brittany on December 1, 2008

Ben doesn’t like the texture of pumpkin pie and so he usually misses out. This year his mom gave me a recipe for Pumpkin Squares, claiming that he would like it.  Boy did he ever! These pumpkin squares were easy to make and a hit at our Thanksgiving table. In fact I’m making them again this friday for a Relief Society activity.

Here is the recipe:

Crust

1pkg Yellow Cake Mix

1/2 cup melted butter

1 egg

Filling

1 can pumpkin pie mix

2 eggs

1 small can evaporated milk

Topping

1 cup reserved cake mix

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup butter (softened)

Press crust into pan. Pour in filling then top with topping. Bake @ 350 degrees for 50 min. (Until knife comes out clean. If top is brown before that happens, cover with tin foil-it will stop the browning while still allowing to cook.)

Refrigerate before cutting and serving. Serve with Whipped Cream! Ummmm enjoy

Love what you have done with your blog. Hope you don’t mind me stalking it the past little while.

I think I’ll have to give this a try as well. I love pumpkin pie, so this will just be another pumpkin bonus..
