I did 5 cups marshmallows as I love gooey treats! the pumpkin pie spice is awesome! These are so yummy and addicting! thanks!

Made these for a picnic. We liked them but they didn't go over well at the picnic. I followed the recipe as written but next time I would add more marshmallows as they didn't stick together well for me with the four cups.

Hey Judie, these Krispie Bars were absolutely scrumptious! My husband and I loved 'em. The only thing I did different when making the bars was... I only added 5 cups of the crispy rice cereal, and I pressed mine into a buttered 8x8-inch Teflon coated baking pan. I prefer the bars to be thick in size, rather than too thin in a 13x9x2-inch pan. I look forward to making these bars often. Judie, thanx for the recipe!
