*I roasted a saccharide pumpkin for near forty minutes at 350 in addition to scraped out the flesh.
My thoughts:
My destination this twelvemonth was to piece of job upwards every concluding fighting of flesh from those volunteer pumpkins. So far, I'd alone made savory dishes but I felt similar I needed i sugariness treat. For some reason, I ever mean value of making Rice Krispies Treats inwards the fall. Not certain why that is; summertime would attain to a greater extent than feel since they don't require oestrus or effort.I idea why non add together some pumpkin to the mix? I had in addition to thus much pre-roasted pumpkin I could spare some to experiment with, I had shop attain "crisped rice cereal" ($1.99 for the giant box) in addition to Aldi marshmallows (89¢), in addition to one-half a handbag of toffee leftover from making cookies, in addition to thus at the real most I'd endure out near $2.
The result? Surprisingly pumpkin-y treats! The toffee blended into the pumpkin to give it a rich caramelized flavor. Who knew? I volition tell they are slightly less crunchy than traditional Rice Krispies Treats due to the extra wet from the pumpkin but the texture was even in addition to thus pretty around the classic. I would follow my instructions in addition to roll them inwards foil vs the green air-tight container I'd typically shop them inwards in addition to thus the wet doesn't attain upwards inwards the container overnight in addition to attain them soggy. I only covered the Pyrex I made them inwards in foil in addition to they were perfect the side past times side day.
