About

I originality found this recipe at recipe goldmine but from the looks of it, it was not very appealing. It had added to the pumpkin squares chopped almonds, butterscotch chips and raisins. I thought that might be a bit much so I added vanilla and kept it simple. So far everyone I make it for loves it. My mothers birthday is at the end of October and she always wants this instead of a birthday cake.
