Delicious Praline Pumpkin Dessert – Thanksgiving Desserts

This recipe exceeded my expectations! perfect for Thanksgiving! Easy to make and serve, it tastes so much like pumpkin pie. Not to sweet and feed a lot of people.. Made easier with a cake mix and baked in a pan everyone has, this dessert feeds a crowd! Next time I might try to mix the butter with the yellow cake mix to make it more moist, but it was delicious, and I plan to make it again and try the spice cake mix.
