How to make Easy Mini Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispie Treat

Makes approximately 14-16 servings

Equipment Needed

Large pot, 2 (12-count) muffin tins

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons butter
• 5 cups mini marshmallows
• 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• Filling:
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
• ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3 cups mini marshmallows
• Orange gel food coloring, just 2-3 drops
• 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• Whipped topping, optional

Step-by-Step Process

1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt 5 tablespoons butter.

2. Add 5 cups mini marshmallows and stir continuously until melted.

3. Fold in 5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until coated in the marshmallow mixture.

4. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray. Take about 1/4 cup of Rice Krispies mixture and press it into each of the muffin cavities to form a mini crust. Set aside as you make the filling.

5. In the same large pot, melt 3 tablespoons butter.

6. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well incorporated.

7. Add 3 cups mini marshmallows and stir continuously until melted.

8. Stir in 2 drops of orange food coloring. You can add another drop if you want more color.

9. Fold in the remaining Rice Krispies cereal until coated in the mixture.

10. Put about 2-3 tablespoons of the “filling” into the center of each mini crust and press it in so they stick together.

11. Let it set for 20 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
