Happy September! AKA Pumpkin Season Our first recipe for this fall are creamy pumpkin bars with a crunchy top. Or you can refer to them as a pan of deliciousness for all. 🎃 = 🧡
Ingredients List:
- Vanilla cake mix
- Pumpkin puree
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Evaporated milk
- Melted butter
- Chopped pecans
- Toffee baking bits
Cake Mix: Any variety of vanilla/yellow/white/spice dry mix will work. Be sure to stick with a standard size box of cake mix for the below ingredients to work . It should be approx 18 oz in size.
How to Make:
- First, be sure to grease your 9 x 13 baking dish!
- Next, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and evaporated milk. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking.
- Sprinkle the top of that pumpkin mixture with the dry cake mix. Yes, just the dry mix right from the box. Then, sprinkle the chopped pecans and toffee bits on top of that.
- Then, take that melted butter and drizzle it on top. Do your best to cover all with the melted butter, but, if you miss a few spots, don’t panic. It’s OK.
- Finally- – -Bake! After baking, let the bars sit for 30-60 minutes before serving. At first, the bars will be pretty soft, but, will firm up as they cool.
A few notes:
- Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree…not pumpkin pie mix.
- If you don’t have any pumpkin pie spice on hand, cloves or nutmeg are a good substitute.
- Is there a substitute for evaporated milk? Yes! Find it here.
- Topping ideas: Vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream or additional chopped pecans & toffee bits.
