Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 10.5 ounce bag marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- Maldon sea salt, or any flaky “finishing” sea saltn (Optional)
Instructions
- Grease a 9×9-inch pan with butter or cooking spray and then set aside.
- In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, continue to cook until butter starts to brown. The butter will turn a golden brown color and develop a nutty aroma. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
- Stir up any browned bits and add the marshmallows, stirring until melted.
- Stir in the pumpkin pie spice. Remove from heat.
- Once the mixture is well-combined, stir in cereal.
- When mixed, spread into prepared pan and press down evenly. Let cool for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with optional Maldon sea salt and cut into squares before serving.
