By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• Graham Cracker Crust
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• pinch salt
• 6 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
• Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Layer
• 4 tbsp butter, room temperature
• 10-oz Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows (1 large bag)
• or 10-oz plain marshmallows + 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix
• 6 cups rice krispies/puffed rice cereal

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium bowl, stir together all graham cracker crust ingredients. Pour into a 9×13-inch pan and press into an even layer.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before using.

To make the cereal bars, combine butter and marshmallows in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, until marshmallows have melted. Stir the marshmallow mixture (adding spices, if using), then add in the cereal. Stir with a large spatula until everything is evenly combined.
Spoon the cereal mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Using a large spatula or lightly greased hands, press down into an even layer. Allow bars to cool to room temperature before slicing.
