Pumpkin Squares

These pumpkin squares are a cakelike version of a pumpkin pie filling. Similar in flavor to a pumpkin pie but made without a crust, these squares are a sweet treat during the holidays or any time of the year. Top with cream cheese frosting or a sweet glaze for a little extra decadence.
