𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal 🍚
4 tablespoons unsalted butter 🧈
1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows 🍬
1/2 cup pumpkin puree 🎃
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 🍂
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 🌰
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
Whipped cream for topping 🍶 (optional)
Extra cinnamon for garnish 🌰 (optional)

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter 🧈 over low heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add the mini marshmallows 🍬 and stir constantly until they are completely melted and combined with the butter. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent the marshmallows from burning or sticking to the pot. This mixture will create the gooey base for your Rice Krispie treats.

3. Add the Rice Krispies: Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal 🍚. Fold the cereal into the pumpkin-marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated. This step requires some muscle, so work quickly before the marshmallow mixture cools down and becomes too stiff to mix!

4. Press into the pan: Grease a 9×13 inch pan with butter or non-stick spray. Transfer the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to press it down evenly. For a smoother finish, you can grease the spatula with a bit of butter or spray to prevent sticking. Press firmly to ensure the layers are compact, but don’t flatten them too much or they’ll lose their light, crispy texture.

5. Let them set: Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes 🕒. This will help them firm up and become easier to cut into squares. If you’re in a hurry, you can place the pan in the fridge for 15 minutes to speed up the process!

6. Slice and garnish: Once the treats have set, cut them into squares using a sharp knife. For an extra touch of sweetness, top each piece with a dollop of whipped cream 🍶 and a sprinkle of cinnamon 🌰 before serving. The whipped cream adds a delightful creaminess, while the cinnamon enhances the pumpkin pie flavor. Serve and enjoy these delicious fall-inspired treats! 🎃🍚🍂
