I originally had this when my Mother made it from her recipe and after she passed away the recipe was lost, well this is a version I found online I don't know where the origin of it is from,but it seemed to match my Mothers recipe almost identically. I can never seem to make enough. People go nuts over it. Enjoy :)

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can(s) 15 oz pumpkin puree
1 can(s) 12 oz evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c chopped pecans
1 c butter melted

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. then Grease bottom of 9 x 13? pan.
  • 2. Mix pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour mixture into greased pan.
  • 3. Sprinkle dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture and top with pecans. Drizzle melted butter over pecans.
  • 4. Bake 50-55 minutes

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a better flavor and texture than canned puree. To make fresh pumpkin puree, roast a pumpkin in the oven and then scoop out the flesh.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: The bars should be slightly jiggly in the center when they are done baking. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: The bars will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin crunch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make fall dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings.
