Not bad. I think I would have liked them better if I had used fresh pumpkin instead of canned.

These were easy to make and very tasty. I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I substituted pecans. They turned out great!

I thought these squares were good, but not great. The pumpkin flavor was a bit bland for my taste, and the crust was a little too crumbly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
