Since I already purchased a pumpkin pie at Costco, guess I'll have to make do.  Hope all that want to enjoy this pie are able to get one.

Costco's pumpkin pies are famous, I'd forgotten about them.  They're delicious and will feed a crowd.


I'm not a lover of pumpkin pie, if it's there I will eat it, if it's not I don't miss it.  They are good!

I've only bought one from Costco, years ago.  I found out quickly that I'm the only one in the family who likes pumpkin pie.  I'm glad you can buy them by the piece at Safeway now, I get just one slice at Halloween.

This is my first time to hear of them as well and have not seen them in the stores.  I did see just now on her twitter page she does more than pies.  I need to try one after all the calories settle down.

This is on her page appears she makes bundt or pound cakes.

We have had them several times, and my family loves them!!!!!They are sweet, but the crust is so buttery and yummy......They are not real big, so if you are serving a rather large crowd, you will definitely need more than one......

Always wondered if that YouTuber, James Wright,

ever got a $$ cut of sale of those pies.  His video went viral last year

around this time and locked down the popularity of this dessert.

 

This video has over 5,000,000 views....which I'm s.u.r.e.

had a HUGE bearing on the success of this pie.

You're killing me CQ.  I just went to Wal-mart this morning before work to get shredded lettuce and a some new potato's.  After reading your post I may have to make another unscheduled trip.  Probably out of them by now until next week, but oh to look forward to good eats in the very near future.  After your description they may be better than the Janies Cakes just down the street from my office that are on Oprah's list this year.  So expensive.
