Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 cups of mini marshmallows (10 oz. bag)
  • ¼ cup canned pumpkin
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 5-6 cups rice puffs (use 5 if you want the puffs more gooey) :)
  • 1 cup Milk chocolate chips for drizzling (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
  1. Line a 9X9 pan with parchment paper so that there is an inch of parchment above each edge of the pan
  2. Place a large pot on the stove and bring to medium-low heat. Toss in the butter and melt.
  3. Once the butter is melted, add a pinch of salt, 4 cups of the mini marshmallows and the pumpkin. Melt all together and stir frequently.
  4. Remove from heat, add remaining marshmallow, pumpkin spice and vanilla.
  5. VIP STEP: Let the marshmallow mixture cool for 20 minutes. If you add the puffs too soon, they can get soggy
  6. Once the marshmallow mixture is cooled, add the puffed rice and carefully toss together to coat the rice puff cereal.
  7. Use a spatula to place the mixture into the 9X9 prepared pan. Take another piece of parchment paper and use to press down the mixture so it's even on top.
  8. Place in the refrigerator for one hour so the marshmallow can set
  9. Remove from the refrigerator and cut into squares.
  10. Optional - To decorate with chocolate, pour 1 cup of chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir. Place back in the microwave for 30 seconds. Repeat until chocolate is completely melted. Use a spoon or fork to drizzle the puffs with chocolate. Top with sprinkles!!
Notes
Puffed rice can be substituted with rice crispies. Rice crispies will be crunchier, while puffed rice is a little more chewy and gooey.
