"This dessert has everything going for it. It’s a layered dessert that begins with a slightly crunchy graham cracker crust, a sweet yet tangy layer of cream cheese, a layer of vanilla pudding that’s spiked with pumpkin, topped with whipped topping, and sprinkled with crunchy toffee bits and chocolate chips for texture. There’s plenty of pumpkin flavor for a perfect fall dessert. I used vanilla pudding but pumpkin pudding would be great...."
