PUMPKIN RICE KRISPIE TREATS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Provided by รก-92703

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
3 tablespoons butter
1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows
Red and yellow food coloring (to make orange color)
12 Tootsie Rolls
1 green fruit roll-up (you will only be able to find the blue/green combo)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat. Add approximately 4 drops of red food coloring and 2 drop yellow food coloring. Add until you have a nice bright orange color. Mix in Rice Krispies. Form small balls into the shape of a pumpkin (Tip: Add Non-Stick Cooking Spray (Pam) or Crisco to your hands before forming your balls). Cut Tootsie Roll in half and add a half into each pumpkin while still warm for the pumpkin stem. Cut small leaves from the green portion of your Fruit Roll Up and place on top near the Tootsie Roll stem.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using it.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows. The marshmallows should be melted and smooth, but not browned.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and spices to the melted marshmallows immediately. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from hardening.
  • Stir in the Rice Krispie cereal until it is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. Be careful not to overmix, or the treats will become tough.
  • Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly into the pan.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin Rice Krispie treats are a fun and easy fall treat that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these delicious treats in no time. So next time you are looking for a sweet and festive snack, give pumpkin Rice Krispie treats a try!
