The hardest part is waiting for muffins to cool!

1 box TJ's Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix
1 jar TJ's Pumpkin Butter
2 eggs
1/4 c vegetable oil
1/4 c water
1 8 oz. block TJ's cream cheese, softened.
1 small box cheesecake flavored pudding mix
1 c chopped pecans

Combine the softened cream cheese and the pudding mix. Beat with electric mixer until mixture is creamy not grainy. Place mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and with both sides up, roll mixture into a log shape. Place into freezer for 2 hours.

Combine TJ's Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix with TJ's Pumpkin butter, the eggs, oil and water in a mixer. Mix until just combined.
