Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Orange food coloring optional

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • silicone spatula
  • baking dish
  • measuring cups

Method

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat until fully liquid and gently bubbling.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and a few drops of orange food coloring (if using) until fully combined and evenly colored.
  4. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal with the marshmallow mixture, using a spatula to coat the cereal evenly without crushing it.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish using a sheet of parchment paper or lightly greased hands to create an even layer.
  6. Allow the Pumpkin Rice Krispies to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, then cut into squares and serve.
