It's smack in the middle of October. Our Indian Summer is gone for good. The other morning when walking to my car, I swear the air smelled different, like winter is just on the horizon. I'm sad to see the warm weather leave us, but am excited for cozy sweaters, comfy socks and warm boots...oh and I'm very excited for more hearty and warm meals. This includes desserts. I've decided this months sweet treats will all include some pumpkin in them. Pumpkin seems to be everywhere I look these days so I figured why not create my own little challenge and include it in my blog? I made some Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats last week. They were delicious; I have posted the recipe below. So quick and yummy!!
Last weekend, my husband and I went to pick out our pumpkins which we plan to carve this week. Below are some of the photos I took (pretending to be a professional photographer) :) Pretty good if I do say so myself.
Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats
3-4 tbsp butter
4-5 cups marshmallows
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 cup pureed pumpkin
6 cups rice krispies cereal
Melt the butter in a large pan. Once melted add in the marshmallows. (I add a little more butter and marshmallow to make sure the treats are ooey gooey and do not get hard). Stir the marshmallows until completely melted. Add the pumpkin spice and the pureed pumpkin to the melted marshmallows. Once all these ingredients are combined, add in the rice krispies. Stir until all are coated and then transfer to a tin or baking dish that has been lightly greased. Press the krispies down, let cool and enjoy!
