This super simple recipe for Toffee Topped Pumpkin Crisp takes only minutes to prepare and yet it tastes like you spent hours! The toffee topping takes it over the top and makes it a dessert everyone loves!
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2011. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
This simple recipe takes advantage of prepared yellow cake mix and canned pumpkin. It seriously could not be any easier (or tastier) than it is and always brings compliments and smiles to the table.
This year however I went in for a little surprise and added chopped-up Heath Bars to the topping. Is that so wrong? LOL
Here's the recipe, I know you'll love it!

I've never seen a pumpkin crisp before and certainly never with a Heath Bar topping. You always add your own special touch which just boosts a good recipe to great. I'm eyeing that big turkey in the background too!
