Looking for a cool twist on rice krispie treats. Add pumpkin!

I love this for Fall. The pumpkin really adds a nice touch. It's a sweet, slightly savory dessert. And a nice spin on the traditional rice krispie treat.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows (or about 4 cups of mini marshmallows)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• Optional: Additional pumpkin pie spice for sprinkling

Directions

• Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
• Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows, stirring until they are completely melted and smooth.
• Add Pumpkin and Spices: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
• Mix in Rice Krispies: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring until all the cereal is coated evenly.
• Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a buttered spatula or your hands (dampened to prevent sticking), press the mixture evenly into the pan.
• Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into squares or bars.
• Optional Garnish: For extra flair, sprinkle a little more pumpkin pie spice on top before serving.
• Serve and Enjoy: These pumpkin-flavored Rice Krispie treats are ready to be enjoyed! They’re perfect for fall gatherings or Halloween festivities.
