These were super easy and tasted wonderful. They tasted like a rich pumpkin pie without the crust. I love that I was eating dessert yet I felt I was eating something healthy (lowfat and fiber from the pumpkin). I also love that they can be made a couple days in advance. I will definately make again. Angela	9 weeks 3 hours ago
