Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats

By Courtney 61 Comments

Juuuuust when you thought my pumpkin obsession couldn’t get any worse…

IMG_7918

This happened.

IMG_7893

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.

IMG_7898

So this afternoon, I got my pumpkin marshmallows all cooked up.

IMG_7900

And go to work on making some delicious pumpkin spice rice crispy treats.

IMG_7902

Into the pan they went…

IMG_7903

And then, just because a little extra chocolate is never a bad thing…

IMG_7907

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.

IMG_7905

Knowing that the hubby can get weird about “extras” added into baked goods, I made sure to keep some nice and plain.

IMG_7908

Then again, they are pumpkin, so something tells me he may not be in to these as much as I am.

Hey…ohh weeeelllll. Winking smile

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? Winking smile

    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.

    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." :-)

    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!
