Method
In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat until fully liquid and gently bubbling.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until completely melted and smooth.
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.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal with the marshmallow mixture, using a spatula to coat the cereal evenly without crushing it.
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.
Allow the Pumpkin Rice Krispies to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, then cut into squares and serve.
