This easy recipe was a thanksgiving hit. Everyone loved the squares. Crushing the ginger snaps took a while, they are a tough cookie.. I omited the nuts in the crust and made up the volumn in snaps. I also used a can of pumpkin pie mix and doubled the recipe (13x9pan). I cut the pumpkin squares, placed them in paper cup-cake holders a day before and refroze. Thank you for sharing, Lorac.
