Chocolate Pumpkin Chess Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; position oven rack in the middle of oven; spray the bottom only of a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt ½ cup butter in a saucepan over low heat.
• In a bowl, beat the cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg with an electric mixer set on medium speed until well blended (mixture will come together as a thick dough).
• Pat the dough evenly into prepared pan; set aside.
• Melt the remaining stick of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
• In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and canned pumpkin with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended and smooth, scraping down the sides of bowl when needed.
• Add in the melted butter, remaining 3 eggs, and vanilla extract; blend until smooth.
• Add in the powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice; blend until smooth.
• Spread pumpkin mixture over prepared crust; bake 42-45 minutes (do not overbake; bars should be slightly gooey).
• Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• Cut into bars/squares; cover and store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
• Lift cake from pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off foil, and use a serrated knife to cut into 24 squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray.
• Combine cake mix, egg, butter, and water by hand.
• Now, pat the batter mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and egg whites until smooth.
• Add the vanilla extract. Pour mixture over batter.
• Bake 45 minutes or until top is golden, cool and cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Combine cake mix, butter and one egg to form a soft dough.
• Spread it into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Then mix the powdered sugar, cream cheese, pumpkin and one egg until smooth.
• Pour over top of the crust.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes until the edges start to turn a golden brown.
• Take them out and you can serve them warm, or let them cool off and serve them cold.

Steps:

• 1. Mix first 3 ingredients for crust in a medium bowl. Batter will be thick. Lightly spray 9x13" pan with cooking spray. Press crust into pan until somewhat even.
