Pumpkin Butterscotch Squares

Spread the love

Creamy and delicious, Pumpkin Butterscotch Squares are a great way to welcome fall!

Fall = cooler weather, sweaters and boots, colorful leaves for crunching through, apples, cider and, of course, P-U-M-P-K-I-N. Since, the weather isn’t all that cool yet, let’s start things off with a creamy, cool dessert. I found this one when flipping through an old church cookbook that had been given to me and I knew it was a must try. A graham cracker crust, topped with a cream cheese layer, covered in a pumpkin butterscotch pudding and crowned with creamy whipped topping…oh, and the little dusting of pumpkin pie spice makes all right in the world. If that doesn’t entice you, maybe you aren’t a pumpkin lover?! I guess we can still be friends, that leaves more for the rest of us 😉
