Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter
5 cups mini marshmallows
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
5 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
3. Reduce heat to low and stir in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and fold in Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
5. Press mixture gently into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan.
6. Melt white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals in the microwave, then drizzle or spread over the top (optional).
7. Allow to cool completely at room temp or chill in fridge until set. Slice into 16 squares.
Notes
Gently press the cereal mix into the pan—don’t pack it too tightly or the bars will be hard.
If using fresh pumpkin, make sure it’s well strained to prevent sogginess.
Let the white chocolate cool before slicing to avoid smearing.
