My husband, who NEVER eats pumpkin pie, has requested that I make this every week...seriously! I've tried a couple of low sugar variations and we've decided that it tastes best using two 15 oz cans of Pumpkin, substituting Splenda for the sugar and with only 1/2 box of yellow cake mix for the topping, and only 1 stick melted margarine. I also substituted chopped walnuts.This gives you an awesome pumpkin base with a light streusel nut topping. A definite winner!!

Way too rich. I didn't love the flavor combination of the yellow cake and pumpkin pie. The nuts with the pumpkin is a nice combo, but I will not make this again. It looks really pretty, but I will be scraping off the topping.

This is awesome! I love pumpkin desserts and this one is easy. I thought it was a little too sweet, so I will use a little less sugar next time,and there will be a next time!
