Williams-Sonoma Pumpkin Dessert Squares created by the_amynator

The good folk at Williams-Sonoma were handing out samples of these a few weeks back. They were (of course) just scrumptious. These were made with Muirhead Pumpkin Pecan Butter (sold at W-S, needless to say), but I would imagine that any good pumpkin butter would do just fine.

How do adjust the recipe for the reduced size of cake mixes. They were 18 ounces but have been reduced. I also use Trader Joe's pumpkin butter. Thank you.

I don’t have access to pumpkin pecan butter. Some say they used Trader Joe’s pumpkin butter. Should I add pecans to the pumpkin butter? Chris

The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter total... BUT says... Mix remaining cake with with 1/2 cup melted butter and 1 egg. Press mixture lightly into the bottom of a 13" x 9" baking dish. and then later asks for 1/4c butter for the topping. Is this correct OR is it 1/4 c of butter for the base AND 1/4c of butter for the topping? THANKS!
