For best results, use fresh marshmallows. Stale marshmallows don't melt as smoothly. Don't overcook the marshmallow mixture, as this can result in hard treats. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice. To prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands when pressing into the pan, lightly grease your hands with butter or spray with cooking spray. These treats are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of making them.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
0 mins
Prepare Your Pan: Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or use a non-stick cooking spray.
02
Step
5 mins
Melt the Base: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, combine the softened butter and pumpkin puree. Stir until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and fragrant. (5 minutes)
03
Step
6 mins
Incorporate Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is creamy and homogenous. Be careful not to overheat; low and slow is the key! (5-7 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Combine with Cereal: Remove the pot from the heat. Immediately pour in the crispy rice cereal. Using a large spatula or wooden spoon, gently but thoroughly mix until all the cereal is evenly coated with the pumpkin-marshmallow mixture. (3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Shape and Set: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased or wetted to prevent sticking) to evenly spread and flatten the mixture into the pan. (2 minutes)
06
Step
23 mins
Chill and Cut: Place the pan in the freezer to cool and set. This will help the treats firm up quickly, making them easier to cut. (15-30 minutes)
07
Step
0 mins
Serve: Once the treats are firm to the touch, remove the pan from the freezer. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the treats. Invert the pan onto a cutting board. Use a large, sharp knife to cut the treats into bars or squares.
