What is it about Rice Krispie treats? I didn’t get them often as a kiddo but I sure do remember being excited when I did!

And then, as I got older I never really made them until I was invited to a BBQ and we were told to bring something.

I thought it would be funny to bring a “childhood” snack for the group.

Boy was I in for a surprise.

People were absolutely excited that I brought Rice Krispie treats! I mean, seriously freaking out excited.

Step 5: In a medium sized non-stick pan, add pumpkin puree over low heat.

You want to heat the pumpkin puree up to where it is hot.

We’re not wanting to cook the pumpkin, just heat it up! You can also do this in the microwave, if you wish to do so.
