Jen - since you where asking about pumpkin butter, I found a few recipes for it. Of course you wouldhave to make the alterations.....sugar to splenda etc.
http://www.ichef.com/recipe.cfm?itemid=92666&task=display&recipeid=92316

If it's any good, maybe you can let us know in the recipe section

Here is another (not spicy), but it doesn't call for brown sugar:

I just made the top one. I didn't have quite enough pumpkin (only a tad over 1 cup) & I used 1/2 brown sugar twin / half packed brown sugar. It is really good! Made the house smell good too!

8 Caramel Filled Hershey's Kisses *sigh*

**I won't post what else I ate But needless to say I completely F'd up my diet today.........so far, the "excitement" of doing a show has worn off and I just don't feel "into it" this time......considering of giving up the idea of doing another show this season and chalk up the NPC fee as a "waste of money" so to speak - It's so DUMB that it's so expensive to join & it's not even good for 1 year from when you join!! Stupid!! I like being my "new" smaller size but I just don't know if I "have it in me" to maintain it for another month - which seems like FOREVER!!

**Oh and when trying on sneakers today I pressed down on one of my fingers accidentally - didn't even hurt my finger - but snapped one of my acrylic nails!! OMG the pain!! It bled pretty good too!! I can't wait to get rid of these things and go back to being "low maintenance" again.

**I’m pretty much sick of the focus of my life being “restrictive dieting.” Sucks!!

1:35am (10/4)
I'm still up - I just don't feel that tired or like going to sleep.....and I've just continued eating all night!! In the past 2 hours I've eaten all sorts of Crap!! I feel like a complete failure.......
