Made crust as instructed, except used mixed nuts. Used 2 cups prepared (baked and pureed) FRESH pumpkin, and instead of spices recommended I used pumpkin pie spices as I would for making pie: 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp ntmeg, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp corn starch -for thickening. Turned out FABULOUS! All party attendees loved it and wanted more than just hte one big pan! I put out whip cream as I would use for pie and bars were gone in less than 1 hour!!!!!
