Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup Pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Large bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray, then set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are fully melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until well combined into the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until it is evenly coated with the pumpkin marshmallow mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, gently and evenly press the mixture into the pan without compacting it too much.
  6. Let the treats cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares and serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh marshmallows and avoid over-compressing the mixture into the pan, as this can make the treats too hard. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes for easy removal and cleanup. If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring with the pumpkin puree for a more vibrant color.
