Pumpkin Spice Krispie Treats

Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 cup pure pumpkin puree – thoroughly drained!!! See note below!
  • 3 cups crisp rice cereal

Instructions
 

  • In a pot, melt butter over low heat.
  • Stir in marshmallows and stir over low heat until completely melted and smooth.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and drained pumpkin puree until well incorporated.
  • Add 1/2 of the crisp cereal, mix well. Add the rest and mix until well combined.
  • Spray a 9×9 baking dish with non stick spray (I use butter flavor).
  • Put a little butter on your hands and press marshmallow cereal mixture into dish until even and touching all sides. Let sit until it sets. *These bars are SOFT! If you do not want them soft, but crunchier – more like a traditional rice cereal treat, double the pumpkin pie spice and leave out the pumpkin puree!*
  • NOTE: YOU MUST DRAIN THE PUMPKIN! I put a coffee filter in a mesh sieve, put the pumpkin in, put a coffee filter on top and put a can on pumpkin on top to weigh it down (See video). I let it sit for 45 minutes, pressing down the can each time I walked by.
