We all have our favorite seasonal recipes we serve year after year – our tried and true favorites. This recipe for Pumpkin Dessert Squares is one of mine. To me, it’s the perfect pumpkin dessert for fall – simple to make, it serves a crowd, and the finished squares come out of the pan smoothly and neatly, so they're always impressive to serve.
