Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispie Treats
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 14 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows, plus one cup
- 14 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 14 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch allspice
- 1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal
- Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish (or a smaller dish see Note below).
- In a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the pumpkin puree and continue to cook until it is warmed through.
- Fold in 10 ounces of the marshmallows, stirring frequently until almost completely melted.
- Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt, and remove from heat.
- Allow the marshmallow mixture to cool 10 minutes; fold in the remaining cup of marshmallows.
- Continue to cool the mixture for another 20 to 25 minutes until it is room temperature (failure to cool the mixture will result in soggy rice crispy treats.)
- Add the puffed rice cereal and stir, using a silicone spatula, until combined.
- Press the mixture into the greased rectangular baking dish.
- Let set for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
