Grampa's Pumpkin Dessert

My dad gave me this recipe.

He has made this many times for a restaurant near his home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

They also request his Cherry Cheesecake http://www.lachelleskitchen.com/2008/09/grampas-cherry-cheesecake.html .

4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 (18.5 oz) box yellow cake mix

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (I used pecans because my husband is a tad allergic to walnuts)
