Ingredients:
- 6 cups — Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 servings — Supergut Fiber Mix
- 4 Tbsp — Salted butter
- 1 tsp — Pumpkin pie spice
- To desired color — Orange gel food coloring
- 3 (ends broken off into 2-inch pieces for a total of 6 pieces) — Pretzel rods
- 6 — Mini airheads, green
- Makes — 6 Rice Krispie treats
Instructions:
- Measure out Rice Krispies cereal and pour into a bowl. Melt butter in a very large pot over medium-low heat.
- Once melted, add the marshmallows, pumpkin pie spice and fiber mix, and as the marshmallows begin to melt, begin adding the gel food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the pumpkin spice and fiber mix is combined.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour in Rice Krispies cereal. Gently stir and fold until cereal is evenly coated.
- Allow mixture to cool slightly until it is cool enough to handle with your hands.
- Measure out a handful of mixture, then mold the mixture into a pumpkin-shaped ball. If the mixture is too sticky, rub a bit of butter on your hands or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Create an indentation on the top of the pumpkin and press 1 piece of the pretzel rod into the top center.
- Use a knife to cut out the shape of a leaf and a vine from a green airhead. Press the airhead leaf and vine around the pretzel rod on top of the pumpkin.
