- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, Pumpkin Spice, vanilla extract, and all spices.
- Pour this mixture over the rice krispies and mix immediately with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Press the cereal into an even layer in the prepared pan. Let the scotcheroos cool for 10 minutes.
