Pumpkin Stuff

Post by Shimmering Auro » 10-11-2007 01:47 AM

Here's a recipe that will knock your socks off

Enjoy --

You mix together 1 16-ounce can of pumpkin and a can of evaporated milk, and then you add 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 3 eggs. Then you put that stuff in a greased 9-by-13-inch pan and crumble 1 yellow (butter) cake mix (we use Duncan Hines) and one cup chopped pecans on top of it and then you pour 2 sticks melted butter over it. (It's hard even to write that with a straight face--two sticks? Yes ma'am--yum, no?) Bake it for 50 to 60 minutes at 350.

While you let it cool off, make the frosting by mixing together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 2 cups Cool Whip, then smear it on top of the pumpkin stuff and put some more pecans on top. Then force yourself to put it in the refrigerator.

Friends and family alike have been known to find themselves shuffling to the kitchen in the middle of the night to sneak a bite (or 5).

Excellent for Halloween parties and pot luck gatherings.

Yummmmm...
