Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 7 oz pumpkin-shaped marshmallows two 3.5 oz packages of Peeps
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter. Keep stirring until it’s completely melted and bubbly, but be careful not to let it brown.
- Once your butter is melted, add in the 7 oz of pumpkin-shaped marshmallows and stir constantly until they are fully melted and combined with the butter. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice until it’s evenly distributed throughout the melted marshmallow mixture. The aroma will be heavenly!
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add in the 5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is coated.
- Once the Rice Krispies are well mixed in, fold in the 1 cup of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. The chips will melt slightly, adding a delicious texture to your treats.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Use your spatula to press it down evenly, making sure it’s packed tightly for the best texture.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into squares or fun shapes using a cookie cutter.
