Williams and Sonoma samples

[LAM3]

Went into Williams and Sonoma yesterday to browse. I never buy anything in there--too expensive. But I do like looking and seeing their seasonal displays. Yesterday they had samples of Pecan Pumpkin Butter Dessert Squares. TO DIE FOR!!!!!

The jar of pumkin butter (an ingredient) was $9.50. Can't believe I spent that but it is so good.

I am going to try and see if I can find a copykat recipe of it. The rest of the ingrdients you would have at home.

Try it if you can. I would give it 5 stars!!

Did They Give You The Recipe For The Dessert Squares? If So Post It Please. I've Seen Recipes For Pumpkin Butter, May Have One At Home In My Stuff, I'll Look For You, Unless Someone Beats Me To It

[LAM3]

1 pckg yellow cake mix;set a side one cup
1/2 cup butter melted
3 eggs, large
1 jar muirhead pecan pumpkin butter
1/8 cup milk
1 tbs. flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp cinnamon



Note that they use Pecan Pumkin Butter. I have had pumkin butter before. This tastes different. I don't think it would have the same flavor if you used the regular.

preheat overn to 350F. Divide yellow cake mix, placing all but one cup on a mixing bowl. Stir the melted butter and one egg into the cake mix. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9'x13' pan. Mix the jar of pecan pumkin butter with two eggs and milk. Pour this result over the cake mix. Stir the reserved cup of cake mix with the flour, sugar, softened butter and cinnamon. Mix together until crumbly. Sprinkle ofver the top of the pumplin layer. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 2' squares. Serves 24.

Re: Williams and Sonoma samples

I used to drive by Muirhead everyday driving back and forth to work. Here is their website http://www.muirheadfoods.com/pecan_pumpkin_butter_benefits.html

It's only $6.50 there. But it is probably fun to try and make it.

Re: Williams and Sonoma samples

How many ounces is the jar of Muirhead?

Re: Williams and Sonoma samples

The jar is 13.5 oz. I did check the website and saw the jars were $6.50 each. By the time you pay shipping it's cheaper to buy the $9 jar at the store.
