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.

I think these would be mighty fun and festive to celebrate the beginning of fall this coming Saturday, don’t you?
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Oh my gosh! I need to get my hands on those marshmallows! Those rice krispie treats look amazing! Totally going to to make these this weekend! :)
kim@hungryhealthygirl says
What a fabulous idea!! My kids would go crazy for these!
stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction says
Need to make these!!!!!!!!!!! My brother love pumpkin spice anything and these look so easy! One problem, I dont have a microwave! Yup, I don’t! Weird, I know…so I’m going to have to do it on the stove top. Hopefully it will still be easy :)
Chelsea @ Dine & Dash Diaries says
Um…pumpkin + Rice Krispies + Dylan’s? Remind me why I have to finish work in lieu of making these RIGHT THIS SECOND again?
Pinned ’em for the weekend (maybe tonight). :)
Danielle@cleanfoodcreativefitness says
These look amazing!!!! Never seen pumpkin marshmallows before! Sounds amazing!
Ashley @ Sweat for Sweets says
OMG these look incredible! Those pumpkin-spiced marshmallows were MADE for the pumpkin obsessed! They were practically begging to be used in a recipe ;) I SO wish that these were available in Canada, but I don’t think they are :(
michelle kim says
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 ;)!
Stephanie @ Steph's Miles says
I have never seen these before!! Awesome! Did they taste super pumpkin-y or did they add a slight hint on flavor?
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
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.
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
OMG must make these immediately. I might try with just regular marshmallows and add spices… we’ll see how they turn out!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
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. ;)
Beks says
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.” :-)
Taylor says
Ohh man those look good!! any chance you know of a good pumpkin cookie recipe?
Courtney says
Funny you should ask! I have a few recipes I’m hoping to experiment with next week ;)
Taylor says
How perfect! :) I look forward to seeing what you create!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Yum! I love rice crispy treats!
Megan@funsizedfitness says
Those looks soooo good! I might try them with some peanut butter mixed in :)
Suzanne @ Fit Minded Mom says
I am in pumpkin overload and LOVING it!!!! I have complied a list a mile long of “pumpkiny” things that need to be made. Gosh, here I was trying to lose a few pounds but may end up gaining them instead!!!
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
That is the most fun thing I’ve seen all day! Now I know what I’m making for book club on Tuesday!
Kristen says
knaslidjhfa klsdnfaosi;edba!!!!!!
So glad someone else is as obsessed with pumpkin as I am!
Alysha @Shesontherun says
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.
Chelsea Lords says
Oh my gosh! These are awesome! I am totally obsessed with pumpkin too. Can’t wait to try them.
Lauren says
Shut up! Pumpkin marshmallows? I’ve just died.
Lauren @The Homeostatic Mindset says
OH.MY.GOODNESS. I’m dying. These look so delicious!
Chelsea @ GlitterAndSweat says
I might just have to make these for my Locks of Love party ;) Thanks for the great recipe!!
Meghan @ After the Ivy League says
They’re selling pumpkin marshmallows!! Man, I really need to browse around the grocery store more, how did I miss these? Are they good? (dumb question I know but I had to ask)
Katy says
WHAT!? NO WAY! Those look amazing! AND they would be a great addition to my Sunday Football Feast!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
I’m assuming you have some of these and a cinnamon roll waiting for me, right? Good.
Claire@ Keeping Up With Claire says
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!
Nicole says
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:)
Danielle @ itsaharleyyylife says
yummmmm! I am so making these! I have never heard of pumpkin spice marshallows! Oh boy!
Angela @ Health's Angel says
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.
Ashlee @ A Step in the Right Direction says
Now I have to find time for a trip to Walmart – those look delicious!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
So, you’re kind of brilliant. Just FYI. :-)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
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!!!!!
Courtney says
Your man is caraaaaaazy ;)
Ellie@Fit for the Soul says
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. :D 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!
sherice@foodieluvsfitness says
omg that looks amazing!!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Very cool idea!
Julie @ Sweetly Balanced says
OMG!! I NEED those pumpkin spiced marshmallows!! Is it just me or are there extra pumpkin flavored things this year??
Tara Deal says
What a delicious looking treat! :) How clever!!
Sarah B. says
My eyes lit up SO BIG when I saw the glistening image of a that rice krispie treat show up in my reader!!
Tessa @ Amazing Asset says
Umm yeah, this is a winner to say the very least Courtney :) There is no way I would have been able to resist those marshmallows either!
Rachel says
omg wow… this sound incredible!
Melanie says
Oh my goodness Courtney. Those look amazing! I should just start wearing bibs when I read your blog bc you post so many drool worthy recipes. You go girl! Hey, wanted to ask you if there were any yoga challenges coming up in the future?!
Courtney says
I’ve actually been thinking about it! Perhaps I’ll do one for October…I haven’t gotten in nearly as many sessions as I’d like to this past month. You in?? :)
Melanie says
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!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
Holy cow they really do make pumpkin everything!! Pumpkin marshmellows?? Pumpkin rice krispy treats?? You’re a genius!
Becka @ simplybecka says
Sounds delicious! OMG thanks for sharing. I am so gonna find those Marshmallows in my town. Sounds yummy. Have a great weekend. ^_^
Jolynn says
Genius idea! :)
Nicole says
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?
Courtney says
Haha, I have no idea :)
Shayla says
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! ;)
Bek @ Crave says
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 :)
Anna says
Ahhh, need to make these ASAP!!!!!
Nicole says
Hi Courtney, where did you get the pumpkin spice marshmallows?? I need to make these!
Courtney says
Walmart :)
Nicole says
YAY thanks :)

OMG! I love this! I actually made some chocolate chip rice crispies using my TruVision Weightloss Product – RePlace which is an awesome post workout recovery protein mix! Talk about a protein packed rice crispy!!!!
Mia says
These would be wonderful with pecans in them as well!
