• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 bag of marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• Orange gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
1. Butter a 9×9 inch pan.
2. Spread the pumpkin on a stack of paper towels and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to draw out moisture.

6. Stir in the pumpkin pie spice until evenly mixed.
7. If desired, add a few drops of orange gel food coloring for a deeper color.
8. Remove from heat and fold in the Rice Krispies (use a large bowl if necessary and spray hands with non-stick spray to make mixing easier).
9. Evenly press the mixture into the prepared pan and let it cool.
10. While the mixture is cooling, melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
