Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispies Treats

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil. Spray the sides and bottom of the pan with baking spray and set aside. Take pure pumpkin and gently press it in a tea towel, or several paper towels, to remove the excess moisture. Measure out 1/4 cup and set aside.

In a medium-large pot, on the stovetop, add the butter to the pot. Melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add six cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Melt the marshmallows into the butter completely, stirring constantly. Stir in the pure pumpkin and stir until thoroughly mixed into the mixture. Once the marshmallows are completely melted, remove the pot from the stove and turn the stove off.

Immediately add the vanilla extract, salt, white chocolate and pumpkin pie spice to the melted marshmallows and stir until well incorporated. Stir in the Rice Krispies into the marshmallow mixture, one cup at a time, fully mixing in each cup of cereal before adding the next. At the fourth cup of cereal, stir in one cup of mini marshmallows into the mixture. Add the remaining two cups of cereal. Add the rest of the mini marshmallows to the treats and stir until incorporated (you want them to stay mostly whole).

Pour marshmallow treats out into prepared pan. Spray one hand with baking spray to gently push the marshmallow treats so there is an even layer in the pan. Do not push hard on the treats or you will get tough treats. Immediately top with sprinkles and gently press into the warm treats. Option to sprinkle additional pumpkin pie spice on top.

Wait until treats have cooled and set before cutting into desired sized squares.
