Ingredients
  

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the baking dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

    Melt the butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it’s fully melted and bubbling.

      Add marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add in the mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

        Incorporate pumpkin puree: Stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Continue stirring for about one minute until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

          Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture, stirring gently until all the cereal is coated evenly.

            Add extras: If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans for added texture and sweetness.

              Transfer to the dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a buttered spatula or your hands (lightly greased), press the mixture firmly into an even layer in the dish.

                Cool and set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to set.

                  Cut and serve: Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy this delightful fall treat!
