Tips and Tricks

  • If you’re finding that the marshmallow and Rice Krispie mixture is too sticky, place it in the fridge for 10 minutes, or longer, until the mixture firms up.
  • If you want to make smaller pumpkins, divide the mixture into smaller balls. We made 6 large pumpkins using 5 scoops for each pumpkin, so try using 3 scoops each for smaller pumpkins.
  • To make these pumpkin Rice Krispie treats vegan, simply replace regular marshmallows with vegan ones.
