Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin purée for the best flavor. You can make your own purée by roasting a pumpkin or by using canned pumpkin.
Be sure to drain the pumpkin purée well before using it in the recipe. This will help to prevent the squares from being too watery.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
Be careful not to overbake the squares. They should be set in the center, but still have a slight jiggle to them.
Let the squares cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
