oh I love cream cheese frosting - but I have to keep mine to a very thin coat...really thin, just a scant whisper of cream cheese frosting. THANKS Deborah for sharing the recipe - sounds yummy. I'm going to see if I can talk the teen-boy into helping me make them today!

Those sound so good! Some of the "missing" ingredients will be on my shelf by Monday, but they won't stay there long, since my family loves anything pumpkin-y! (Is it okay to just slice them and eat them out of the pan before anyone else comes along to share? )

They are very addicting. Forwarning you. They can be messy with crumb bottom but remember the crumbs have butter in them so they are yummy. Have fun making them. They make the house smell oh so good.Deborah
