I have made this dessert for many a years. I like to put 3 tablespoons of flour in the pumpkin mix to make it a little thicker. Makes it easier to serve.

I am allergic to nuts. Any suggestions on how to get the 'crunch' without the nuts?

Can you really be allergic to all nuts? Peanuts are legumes and present a more common allergy. Have you been tested for allergies or is thia an assumption on your part. Crunch can come from wheat germ, toasted oats or crumbled pie crust.

You can just leave out the pecans. I have never used nuts in mine and it's very good. When you drizzle the butter on top of the dry cake mix, it will make a crunchy type topping. This is a great recipe!

What about using some churchy toffie candy on top

Can I use condense milk, half/half or regular milk in place of evaporated milk? Have everything but the evaporated milk.

Tweaked this recipe a little by substituting Splenda for the sugar and using a sugar free yellow cake mix....it was wonderful and quickly gobbled up.

Forgot that I also used spice cake mix instead of the yellow cake mix that it calls for.

I have been making this crunch for many years...... One of my family's favorites.... Always made it lighter and cutting down calories by using low fat milk, Splenda, half of the duncan Hines mix and half of the butter ( sometimes I use becel ) to do the topping, It still is very tasty!!

This was my first recipe that i have tried from this webiste (I am a new member to Duncanhines.com) Let me tell you, I am impressed with this dessert. I did use the spice cake mix like others suggested, I left out the 1/2 tsp of salt (bc I used salted butter) and I only did 1/2 cup of butter instead of the 1 cup that was recommended. I really, really, really enjoyed this dessert. Thanks so much for sharing. It was outstanding.

I made this cake tonight. It came out soooo good! I used spice cake instead of the white cake, I didn't have any pumpkin pie spice so I used apple pie spice. I thought the topping was a little salty too, think I'd go with the unsalted butter next time too, like the previous member mentioned. I made a topping with a tub of cool whip 1 1/2 cups milk, Pumkin spice pudding and 1 tsp of vanilla. OMG soooo yum, Can't wait to serve it up, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

These were very good! I used salted butter, if I make these again I will use unsalted because it made the topping a bit salty. Also, the pumpkin part did not get very firm. I am slightly disappointed. All of that aside, the dessert was very tasty just not very pretty : )
