Pumpkin Season is here! I am not usually one to make too much of that but I am really feeling it this time around. I pulled this recipe from my November 2018 Better Homes & Gardens magazine–mostly because I have a trifle dish and wanted to make something pretty in it.
Just a note–I had issues with the syrup that was going over the pecans. I think it was supposed to be kind of like a brittle or something? Well, it didn’t work for me so I just toasted the pecans in some butter in a skillet for a few minutes. It was still yummy! I am just sharing my version today, but if you want the full recipe, check it out here.

- Cut one loaf of pumpkin bread into 1-inch cubes. (Freeze other loaf up to 1 month or eat it!) In a large trifle dish, alternate layers of pumpkin bread cubes, pecans, cream, cranberries, and drizzled caramel sauce 3 times.
- Serve immediately or chill up to 8 hours.
