Oh Wow. Just Wow. These were wonderful, and I can't wait to make them again. I made them for the luncheon on the day we moved my parents out of their house, and they were snarfed down. What was left over, I left with my parents, so they had something sweet in their new place, without having to search. I think I'll have to make these again this weekend for my family.Reply

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I always look for something pumpkiny to take to our fall family reunion, and this was a hit. Easy to make a delivers that taste of fall. I did make change, as i had to use pumpkin pie spice instead of what was in the recipe, but this a keeeper amd will be made again and again. Just be warned, get a small serving, for it is very rich.1Reply
