I had such high hopes for this recipe but it proved to be too sweet for my tastes, which is really saying something! The first bite or two was wonderful but was too much after a big meal (that's a lot of butter). I might try it again with some modifications but would probably include it with lunch offerings, where the richness of the dessert stands out as a treat.

I make this when we want something sweet to eat but have little in the pantry to work with. Dosen't everyone always have a box of cake mix and a can of pumpkin? I don't use a full tablespoon myself, just about a teaspoon or so. I also add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the "filling". You can get by cutting the sugar back or using a reduced sugar/sugar free cake mix and fat free evaporated milk. It's like cheater pumpkin cobbler!

Yummy! Like a pumpkin pie crisp! I added chopped walnuts on top and they were a good addition. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice, so used 2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp ea. nutmeg, allspice, cloves and ginger as I do in my pumpkin pie filling. We may have this for Thanksgiving instead of pumpkin pie!

This is so good! I made it exactly as written except I added some cinnamon & vanilla to the pumpkin mixture and after I drizzled the butter on, I sprinkled about a cup of walnuts on. After this was cooked, I let it sit in fridge for about an hour and a half. Then I flipped it into a plastic 13x9 container w/ a lid and covered it and put back in fridge. Huge hit at the potluck! Thanks!

Not quite as good as the one I first tasted at a brunch. It had a little salty flavor to it. I will try again using unsalted butter - I hope that will make the difference.

Though I'm still a fan of traditional pie on Thanksgiving and Christmas days, I thought this recipe was delicious and will make it again! If you're serving a crowd, this can definitely go farther for less effort than traditional pie. In an effort to increase the nutrition factor by just a little bit, I cut the white sugar to 3/4 c. and I thought it was plenty sweet enough since the cake mix and butter layer is pretty sweet on its own. I think next time I'll even omit a tablespoon or two of butter and my guess is I'll not notice the difference.

I made this for a pot-luck at lunch today. It was awesome! Everyone asked for the recipe. I did make a few minor changes. I used a butter cake mix and sprinkled 1 cup of chopped pecans over the top before drizzling butter. Perfect! This is a keeper!

I made this with my 5yr old grandson. He thoroughly enjoyed making this easy dessert. The only thing I added was one teaspoon of vanilla and a little more spices. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I had to make my own. The entire pan was gone so fast I didn't get but a small taste myself. Everyone really liked the crunchy cake mix texture opposed to the custard texture of the pumpkin. It's a Keeper! Thanks for sharing.
