Check out this mouth-watering Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treat Recipe. Thanks Executive Sous Chef Eric Hill, we cannot wait to make these ourselves! Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats serves 12 people Ingredients:3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree 1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows plus one cup 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of allspice Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of kosher salt 6 cups crispy rice cereal Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish (or a smaller dish — see Note below). In a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the pumpkin puree and continue to cook until it is warmed through. Fold in 10 ounces of the marshmallows, stirring frequently until almost completely melted. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt, and remove from heat. Allow the marshmallow mixture to cool 10 minutes; fold in the remaining cup of marshmallows. Continue to cool the mixture for another 20 to 25 minutes until it is room temperature (failure to cool the mixture will result in soggy rice crispy treats.) Add the puffed rice cereal and stir, using a silicone spatula, until combined. Press the mixture into the greased rectangular baking dish. Let set for 30 minutes before cutting and serving. • Note : Chef Eric Hill calls for a 9x13-inch dish here, but often uses an 8x11-inch because who doesn't love taller treats. Any size in this range should do.

Jared Kadzikowski is The Club’s new Sommelier. He was born and raised here in Colorado Springs and fell in love with wine as a server at The Melting Pot. During his 4 years at Charles Court and Summit restaurants at The Broadmoor Hotel he acquired his level two certified sommelier certification with The Court of Sommeliers. Jared graduates in May 2017 from UCCS. A fun fact about him is he made it all the way to becoming an Eagle Scout, only four percent of Boy Scouts are granted this rank after a lengthy review process. He is proud to be a part of the wine program here at The Steakhouse at Flying Horse and looks forward to diversifying and improving the wine list and experience at such a lavish and beautiful restaurant. Please say hello and welcome him as you see him around the restaurants!
