Juuuuust when you thought my pumpkin obsession couldn’t get any worse…
This happened.
I ended up walking past these yesterday while in good ‘ol Walmart and decided that I could not let them go untouched. I mean, they were only $1.25…they were practically begging to be thrown into my cart.
This whole summer, I’ve really been all about rice crispy treats. Anytime we’ve been out at a party and they’re there, I can’t get enough of ‘em (my friend, Andrea, makes some great ones!). Yet, I never end up making them myself.
That needed to be changed.
So this afternoon, I got my pumpkin marshmallows all cooked up.
And go to work on making some delicious pumpkin spice rice crispy treats.
Into the pan they went…
And then, just because a little extra chocolate is never a bad thing…
I came across this milk chocolate candy bar in the back of my fridge (leftover from my fun package in June) and decided I’d put it to use.
Knowing that the hubby can get weird about “extras” added into baked goods, I made sure to keep some nice and plain.
Then again, they are pumpkin, so something tells me he may not be in to these as much as I am.
Hey…ohh weeeelllll. 
Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats
Recipe from Kraft Foods
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 package Pumpkin Spice Mallows Marshmallows
- 5 cups rice crispy cereal
- Optional: your favorite chocolate candy bar, cut into chunks
Directions:
Line a 9×13” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Microwave butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds, or until melted. Add marshmallows and toss to coat. Microwave about 1-1/2 minutes or until marshmallows are completely melted (check at around 45 seconds).
Add cereal and mix well. Press onto bottom of prepared pan. Press chocolate chunks into rice crispy treats, if desired. Allow to cool; cut and go to town!
I think these would be mighty fun and festive to celebrate the beginning of fall this coming Saturday, don’t you?

MY GOODNESS, NO WAY! That is sooooo perfect for the fall (ahhh I’ll just have to let it roll over into the winter desserts, too

I have never seen these before!! Awesome! Did they taste super pumpkin-y or did they add a slight hint on flavor?

Well you just convinced me to brave the crazy crowds of Walmart to go in search of these marshmallows. As simple as they are, Rice Krispie treats are probably one of my favorite desserts, and the combination of pumpkin and chocolate sounds to die for.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... WIAW … travel edition .
OMG must make these immediately. I might try with just regular marshmallows and add spices… we’ll see how they turn out!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat recently posted..Thursday Thoughts
OH MY YUM!!! First of all, I NEED those marshmallows! Second, I’m not sure they’d last before I could make rice krispie treats.

With the chocolate sprinkled on top, it’s like Halloween in a pan! Mix up favorite candy bars (Milky Way, Reese’s, etc) and you can call them “Trick Or Treat Crispies.”

I look forward to seeing what you create!
Yum! I love rice crispy treats!

So glad someone else is as obsessed with pumpkin as I am!
I love Rice Krispie treats
I made some with Oreos that were beyond words. I’ve even substituted Rice Krispies for Special K because that’s what I had in the house.

Ohmygoshhhh….really?! I’m trying to get into the fall mood despite the 90 degree heat down here, and these little babies just might help me out! The marshmallows though, seriously? Since when have flavored marshmallows been a thing? Maybe I’m just way outta the loop!
So funny…my kids were snacking on pumpkin s’mores made with these marshmallows when I opened up the blog. Just another twist on the pumpkin/chocolate combo;) now they’re begging me to make the rice krispie treats for tomorrow. Someday I’ll hit my fill of pumpkin…maybe:)
yummmmm! I am so making these! I have never heard of pumpkin spice marshallows! Oh boy!
Danielle @ itsaharleyyylife recently posted..Work Vending Machines. {Healthy or Not Healthy}
I literally said “WHAT!?” out loud when I saw the picture of those marshmallows. Ummm…awesome. I die. I love rice crispy treats! They’re so easy to make and always a hit.

John is really weird about extras too. Like this one time I made him pancakes and I put chocolate chips in it. He threw them away. WTH!!!!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey recently posted..fall foods are back
Your man is caraaaaaazy
So I’m not the biggest fan of marshmallows and rice krispie treats, but these have me really intrigued cuz I loooove anything with pumpkin~very clever recipe indeed.
How weird! It must be a man-thing because my husband doesn’t like choc chips, etc. in his pancakes. Only stuff like bananas, blueberries, but not the more “special” additions. haha!

Yes! I’ve maybe got one session in since your last Challenge and really need to get my butt back in gear with it. I’d be in. Let me know if I can do anything to help!

Do you know what your friend Andrea does to her Rice Krispie Treats to make them so fantastic? My aunt makes a mean Krispie Treat, but I have a feeling she adds extra butter or something to make them super delicious….
What’s Andrea’s secret?
Haha, I have no idea
Rice crispy treats have been sounding soooo good to me too and I absolutely have to make these!! I love your baked goodie recipes so very much and can’t wait to try these…they look delish….and I hope you snuck in some of those mallows…it’d be hard not to eat the whole bag!
Shayla recently posted..Cycle For Survival
I’m not really a pumpkin lover (don’t hate) but I’d love to find peanut butter marshmallows! I’ve never seen many variations on marshmallows actually haha. Love the easy rice crispy slice! So many options to change it up
Ahhh, need to make these ASAP!!!!!
