I served these pumpkin squares with whipped cream and they were a big hit. They are better than any pumpkin pie I have ever tasted. Very moist and just the right consistency. Everyone wants to recipe!

I have been looking for this for years. My grandma used to make it for my kids because they didn't like crust pies. Every year they would ask for this.

This is very good and full of spices. I really like the crust at the bottom. Much better than pumpkin pie.

Excellent! Only thing i would change is more butter in the crust and make sure it is mixed in very very well! Otherwise excellent! I added more cinnamon (as usual).
