Preparation
- Butter or spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring gently. Once melted, add the instant coffee granules and stir until mostly dissolved.
- Add the pumpkin-flavored marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in the Rice Krispie cereal until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Use parchment paper to lightly press the mixture into the prepared pan without squashing too hard.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the cooled Rice Krispie treats and spread evenly. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
- Allow to set completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Avoid overpacking the mixture to keep treats light and chewy. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
