Oh, reader. It has been one of those days. One of those days where you try to replace a fake nail while driving a rental car to a hand modeling audition and end up super-glueing your thumb to the stearing wheel. We've all been there.
What is the ultimate pumpkin comfort food for a day like this? PUMPKIN SPICE RICE KRISPIE TREATS!!! That's right, pumpkin marshmallows exist, and I am now left wondering why I didn't demand every case of them from the Super Walmart in Jersey where I found them.
I realized as I was baking them (if you can even call it baking. It's more like standing by the stove and making sure the butter doesn't burn while watching back episodes of Say Yes to the Dress over your shoulder), that I have never actually made rice krispie treats. I've enjoyed them on many occasions out of their shiny blue wrappers, distributed by my friend, the Green Room vending machine. The truth is they are incredibly easy to make and still as amazing as you remember when mom made them when you were eight. No. MORE amazing, because now you have PUMPKIN SPICE MARSHMALLOWS. Mind=blown.
I really shouldn't tell you the recipe, because if you can't find the side panel of a Rice Krispie box, you probably shouldn't be operating a stove. Still, I will humor you, reader. This can be found on the official Rice Krispie website
I like to cut mine into dinosaur shapes, because dinosaurs are awesome.
