Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice crispy cereal
- 10 ounces Mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 optional Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add the pumpkin puree to the melted butter and stir until combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to get rid of excess moisture in the puree.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot, stirring frequently until they are completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture, as this can make the krispie treats too hard.
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the rice crispy cereal. Mix until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared 9x13-inch pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be gentle and avoid pressing too hard, as this can make the treats too dense.
Allow the Pumpkin Spice Krispie Treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
