This is pumpkin bread kicked up a notch! It has dates and raisins and nuts. It is baked in a bundt or tube pan but the texture is not a pumpkin cake! It is a large pumpkin bread! It is so moist, and really, really good! It’s a favorite of mine during the fall holidays! I just love this one! Enjoy!
“Years ago Kellogg’s came out with their Rice Krispie Treats recipe on the back of the box and now they are a classic!
