Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Baking dish
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
  • 3 drops orange food coloring
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a small baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, orange extract, orange food coloring, and salt until the mixture is evenly colored and combined.
  • Remove the pan from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until every piece is coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the prepared dish using a spatula or lightly greased hands.
  • Let the squares cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before cutting into four pieces.

Notes

Press the mixture firmly while it is still warm so the squares hold together without crumbling. If the pumpkin puree makes the treats slightly softer than usual, chill them for 10 minutes after cutting to firm them up. These store best in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
