Grandma’s Pumpkin Squares Recipe
Pumpkin Squares Recipe
This time of year is always fun with fall, pumpkins, and Halloween. Luckily my husband and kids like pumpkin desserts and cream cheese frosting; homemade of course. I hope you enjoy this easy recipe. This is one of my Grandma’s recipes that she would make for us when we would visit. Back then I didn’t care for pumpkin except for pumpkin pie.
When I couldn’t find her recipe I found this one that was closest to Grandma’s as I could find.
