Just made these this morning.........so good and easy....I used my canned pumpkin and mixed cloves, cinnemon, allspice and nutmeg as I had no pumpkin pie spices. They are delicious..........should make them any time of the year. Sent the recipe to my sister in Indiana.......this is a keeper........keep em coming..........

These are terrific! Perfect for a special fall treat! I added cinnamon to the mix. Next time I may add some chopped walnuts on top for texture. They are a definite crowd pleaser!
