Notes

If you can find Jet-Puffed pumpkin spice marshmallows, these work great. Reduce pumpkin pie spice to just 1 teaspoon and omit food coloring.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can use 1 and ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
I prefer gel coloring. My favorite is AmeriColor.
