"When we bake these layered squares, our kitchen smells wonderful," writes Ruth Chiarenzsa from her home in La Vale, Maryland. "They are favorites during the fall season, and they make a great finish to any meal. As a matter of fact, they never last for very long in our house!"

I thought the pumpkin filling part was a bit bland, but these were a HUGE hit at work. I'd definately make them again!

Absolutely delicious!! The first time I made these, I took them to a potluck. Everyone was begging me for the recipe.

Have made these for guests a couple times and they love them! I like to skip the refrigeration and serve them a little warm with some whipped cream!

The layers turned out perfect and everyone who tried them loved them. It was quite simple and will make a great addition to football games and holiday get togethers.

I am not allowed to make pumpkin pie anymore - it has to be this recipe instead. I also have to make two pans during the holidays so my sons can have their own at home. Great recipe!

Followed exactly and everything turned out great. I recommend this recipe, give it a try!

Although I followed the recipe exactly, it didn't come out with three defined layers. The filling puffed up and the crumb topping melted into the filling. However, despite this, my niece pronounced it "awesome" and that's good enough for me! The next time I make it, I will use the entire cake mixture for the bottom crust and make my own crumb topping, adding chopped pecans to it to provide more texture.

Is it 1 can 30 oz. or 5 oz. of can milk???

This tasted pretty good, but once I added melted butter to the cake mix along with an egg, it was doughy and tacky, far from bein crumbs, good thing I had 2 cake mixes, I had to through it out and just used softened butter and half an egg, Im sure glad no one else had this problem.

I made 4 pans of these for a mid-week church gathering. Received lots of compliments and requests for the recipe. Tasted great! Would add cool whip at home - wasn't practical for our setting at church last night.

Very good, will put in recipe box. It was missing the topping of whip cream though, adding that next time would make it complete.

I made those over the 4th of July. My family liked they. They set up very nice. Make sure. I used pure canned pumpkin and added some pie spice to the batter. I will make these again this fall.
