Absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Even my husband, son, and father who "don't eat squash" tried it and liked it. I used egg-beaters and fat-free evaporated milk. I didn't have Rice Krispies, so went hunting through my cabinet to find something suitable and came up with (are you ready for this?) Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Delicious. I could eat this for dessert. I'll be using this recipe yhe next time I'm asked to bring a vege dish to a pot-luck.

Okay - here's the honest truth. I have NEVER made squash for my family - it just seemed too....well.....too boring! My kids are picky when it comes to veggies (they are 5 yrs, 3 yrs old, and 7 mo's old). I was getting tired of the same old veggies all the time, so decided to try - squash! After browsing the recipes, I decided to try this one...WOW - We were NOT disappointed! My 3 yr old ate ALL his veggies, my 5 yr old ate most, and the 7 mo. old kept begging for more (naturally, we were not giving her the topping part, as it has nuts.) I myself LOVED it - and my DH's comment was, "I don't think I've EVER eaten squash in my life. THIS recipe's a KEEPER!" (after his 2nd helping of it!) THANKS FOR SHARING!

This was the absolute best! I made this for dinner on Halloween night and it was sooo good. I am always trying to make things more healthy, so I did make some modifications. I used light margarine and less of it, used much less sugar (only about 1/3 cup total including part Splenda), used 2 egg whites in place of 1 egg and evaporated skim milk. Even with these changes, I thought it was perfect. Thanks for posting this great recipe. I will make this often.
