Pumpkin spice marshmallows are a must for Fall. The sticky sweet softness of a marshmallow mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, are a delight to eat.

When I shared that I was going to make pumpkin spice marshmallows with my guys, Mr. Bejelly’s ear perked up.

This was a surprise to me as he also isn’t big into pumpkin  The little will eat anything sweet and I just love to hear him say “It’s good” and then watch him rub his little belly when he tries one of my recipes for the first time.

Last weekend we went out to our favorite farm to wander through the corn maze and each pick a fresh pumpkin to decorate for Halloween.  Seriously this is one of my favorite family traditions that I look forward to every single year.

Most people don’t realize that pumpkin is one of the best sources of beta-carotene which you body converts into Vitamin A.  It’s also a food that supports heart health as it also contains fiber and potassium.

You would think that making homemade marshmallows was hard, but really, it just takes patience like most other things in life.

This recipe uses a touch of pumpkin to give it a more authentic flavor and lots of pumpkin spice.

When I was cutting this up for the photo, the scent of the spices was overwhelming in a good way. Mr. Bejelly told me they tasted like the holidays and that they would work well in hot chocolate, dirty chai or tea, of all things (with booze mind you).

  1. These were so easy to make, and are delish!! We have been enjoying them in tea, and dandelion coffee:) Or just by themselves!!! I have been doing Paleo for a long time, but recently adapted to a more GAPS approach, for gut healing purposes for myself and family…. My little girl loves these. I have left brown rice in my diet because I have a little one who is still exclusively nursing and it keeps my milk supply up. so I am going to attempt to make rice crispy treats with this marshmallow recipe and organic puffed brown rice:) Hopefully it turns out amazing! Thanks so much for all of your wonderful recipes!

  2. Looks great! Question about the gelatin. I’m used to ‘blooming’ it in recipes. Is there any difference (would it make a difference)in just whisking the gelatin in hot water vs blooming the gelatin? Thanks!
