- Step 5: Gently press the mixture evenly into the dish using a spatula or greased hands.
- Step 6: Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them chewy and fresh for up to 3 days.
- If your treats become a little firm, microwave individual squares for just a few seconds to soften them up slightly before serving.
- Cut into squares and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice for a festive touch.
- For an extra nutty flavor boost, lightly toast the pecans in a dry skillet before adding them to the cereal mixture.
