Just remember, when it comes to spices, a little sprinkle goes a long way, and in this case, a long way means right into your heart. Feel free to use any spices you like - cardamom, nutmeg, ground ginger, or if you want all of them - try pumpkin pie spice!
Now, let's add some crunch to this soft symphony. Crushed Spritzal shortbread cookies are like the percussion section of your parfait. They bring the rhythm and the beat, not to mention a dose of delicious sweetness. Go ahead, crush those cookies with a vengeance – it's the perfect stress reliever!
This salty, sweet, and sticky butterscotch sauce is the glue that keeps everything together. The flavor or real brown sugar, butter, and salt with have your taste buds dancing. Some will go in the pumpkin puree for flavor, but also keep extra on hand for all the drizzles that you will need for each layer.

Remember, while making this dessert, it's essential to have fun, get a little messy, and share the joy of fall flavors with your loved ones. After all, what's the point of a delicious dessert if you can't enjoy it with company and have a laugh or two along the way?
