Elevate your Rice Krispies Treats with pumpkin spice and browned butter

You know how people go around saying things are their jam? Well, Rice Krispies Treats are my jam. I could eat them at almost any time. They are so sweet and delicious, and that marshmallow chew is the best. This recipe doesn’t deviate too far from the traditional one but delivers big on flavor.

To give these treats a taste of fall, I threw in a little pumpkin pie spice seasoning, and instead of just melted butter, I used browned butter. It brings a nice, nutty flavor to just about any dish, but it’s my favorite when used in desserts. These are the perfect fall treat.
