pumpkin crunch dessert.

on tuesday night we had supper with barbie and ken at their house.

ken made clam chowder and i offered to fix a dessert.  i decided to make pumpkin crunch.  my aunt penny had made it and had it at work the day she cut my hair.  i tried it and loved it.  so, i made it on tuesday night.

let me just tell you.
super simple.
super delicious.

unless you're worker man or ken - because "they don't like pumpkinnnn" [in a super whiney voice]. 

so heather and i ate one piece each and then we had the rest left over.  well, we can't leave something like that at home because i will eat it all [and worker man will help if he likes it].  so, i took it with me to work the next day and everyone loved it.

here's the recipe:

ingredients:

• 1 16oz. can of pumpkin
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1 c. milk
• 3 eggs
• cinnamon or nutmeg [optional]
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 2 sticks melted butter
• 1 c. pecans
• cream cheese [softened]
• cool whip
• 1 3/4 c. powdered sugar

directions:

1. preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 dish
2. combine pumpkin, milk, sugar, eggs and cinnamon [or nutmeg...or neither] and spread into dish
3. sprinke yellow cake mix all over the top
4. pour melted butter over cake mix
5. sprinkle pecans on top
6. bake at 350 for 1 hour
7. blend cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar for topping
8. once cooled [ahem...i made the mistake of not waiting...i do that often] spread topping

i didn't say it was super healthy.
just super simple.
and super delicious.

you should definitely try it :)
