In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, slightly beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Melt butter in a saucepan and add crushed walnuts to it.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until combined (it will be lumpy).

Divide the mixture into two logs, each 2 inches by 10 inches, on a lightly floured surface.

Lightly oil a baking sheet with Crisco and place the logs 3 inches apart.

Bake for 24 minutes until slightly firm.

Let cool for 15 minutes, then slice the logs at an angle into half-inch thick pieces.

Return slices to the oven, baking for 8 minutes, then flip and bake for another 7 minutes until crisp.
