Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 10 ounces marshmallows big or mini
  • 6 cups rice krispie cereal
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice extract
  • sea salt & pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir often until butter starts to turn the slightest bit goldeny brown and smells a little nutty. This happens after about 3-5 minutes, and the butter goes from light yellow to golden almost instantly. 
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the marshmallows and about 2 teaspoons of extract if you just want a slight hint of pumpkin flavor. Go up to 4 teaspoons if you want an intense flavor. 
  • Now carefully stir in the cereal with the melted marshmallows and butter mixture, and toss to coat well. Be careful as to not crush the cereal when mixing.
  •  Coat a square 8" brownie pan with cooking spray or butter, or lay down a piece of wax paper, and begin to press the cereal treat mixture into the pan.
  • Press into an even layer, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pumpkin pie spice if you so wish. Let set and then cut into even squares and serve.

Notes

To make a chocolate drizzle, melt about ½ cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30-45 seconds at a time, stirring in between, till melted through.
Drizzle chocolate on the bars by either spooning it all over, or placing the melted chocolate in a piping bag.
Store your pumpkin rice krispie treats in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
