SCRUMPTIOUS PUMPKIN SQUARES
These Pumpkin Squares are absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS, and they're so easy to make, they're definitely easier than pumpkin pie. So with Thanksgiving coming up, this simple recipe is perfect. It comes to you courtesy of my nextdoor neighbor, Traci, who is a tremendous cook and baker. She makes all kinds of goodies from scratch, but with the busyness of the holiday season, I asked her to share something simple that anyone can make. And these pumpkin squares are the result of that!
