Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 16-ounce bag mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée blotted to remove moisture
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 7 cups crispy rice cereal
  • Optional: 1 cup white chocolate candy melts and fall-themed sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Grease and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Blot pumpkin purée with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in blotted pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until evenly combined.
  5. Fold in crispy rice cereal gently with greased spatula until coated.
  6. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press gently into even layer.
  7. Optional: drizzle melted white chocolate and add sprinkles while warm.
  8. Let set at room temperature 60–120 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Always blot pumpkin purée to avoid soggy results. Use low heat when melting marshmallows for best texture. Do not press mixture too firmly into pan to keep treats light and chewy.
