Spiced Pumpkin Marshmallow Squares

Ingredients

12 servings
|
  • 1/4 cup
    Butter unsalted or Margarine
  • 6 cup
    Marshmallows miniature or Regular marshmallows
  • 1 tsp
    Pumpkin pie spice or Cinnamon and nutmeg mix
  • 6 cup
    Crispy rice cereal or Puffed rice

Instructions

1

Melt the butter

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat until fully melted.

Using low heat prevents the butter from browning, ensuring a smooth mixture.

Ingredients needed for this step

2

Melt the marshmallows

Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they are completely melted and combined.

Stirring constantly helps prevent the marshmallows from sticking to the pan.

Incorporate the spice

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pumpkin pie spice until evenly distributed.

Adding the spice off the heat preserves its aromatic qualities.

Shape the mixture

Transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking pan and press it evenly using waxed paper or a buttered spatula.

Avoid pressing too hard to keep the squares light and airy.

6

Cool and cut

Allow the mixture to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Cooling ensures clean cuts and prevents sticking.
