Sausage Wontons

Next week is Al's birthday so I'm putting together a menu of his favorite things. I'm awesome, I know. This recipe tops the list of his favorites and was introduced to us by his mother. I usually hesitate to make anything his mother has because she is amazing in the kitchen. And because the one time I did, Al mentioned that it wasn't as good as his mother's. He may or may not have been in the dog house big time for that sweet little comment.
But because I'm so awesome, and because it's his birthday, I'm going to make these. And he's going to like them.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins
I found this recipe at one of my fav recipe sites Shades of Jaim. Seriously check out her recipes.
Ingredients:
1 box spice cake mix
15 oz. can pumpkin
1/2 c. water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and fill each baking cup 1/2 way with batter. Bake according to directions on box. Yields 24 muffins.
My Recommendations:
I tried the original recipe which was for Chocolate Pumpkin muffins, but I wasn't too crazy about it. The spice cake mix and pumpkin goes much better together in my opinion. Also, I have made multiple batches of these and then frozen them so we can have some on hand.
