A Great Fall Dessert!

The first time I made this dessert, it went very, very wrong... but I had to try again because I wanted it to come out good! It came out so bad the first time because I used just pumpkin filling instead of pumpkin pie filling, with all the spices included. The second time, the time I did it right, it came out really good! It's so yummy!

Here's the recipe for Crunchy Pumpkin Dessert Squares:

Ingredients:
1 can (30 oz.) pumpkin pie filling
1 can (12 oz.) fat-free evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 pkg. (18-1/4 oz.) yellow cake mix
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1 cup reduced-fat butter, melted
1-1/4 cups fat-free whipped topping

1. In a large bowl, combine the pie filling, milk, and eggs; beat on medium speed until smooth. Pour into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with cake mix and pecans; drizzle with butter.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Garnish with whipped topping. Refrigerate leftovers.
