Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir frequently until completely melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Pour in 10 ounces of miniature marshmallows and stir continuously for 4-5 minutes until fully melted and blended.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in orange gel food coloring until the desired pumpkin hue is achieved, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Press a Tootsie Roll candy into the center of each pumpkin ball as the stem.

  8. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to set at room temperature for about 60 minutes.
