10-Minute Pumpkin Shaped Rice Krispie Treats (so so cute!)

How cute are these Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats?!

These quick and easy to make pumpkin-themed snacks are a fun way to welcome the season, and can be whipped together in less than 10 minutes, making them the perfect fall snack for parties, or classroom snacks.

10-Minute Pumpkin Shaped Rice Krispie Treats

These Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats make a big impact without a lot of work, thanks to their Tootsie Roll stems and Fruit Roll-Up leaves. We did use some orange food coloring to complete the pumpkin effect, but you could easily dye these red for Apple Rice Krispie Treats, or even leave them plain for Cinderella’s cream-coloured pumpkin treats.

We made these for my kids’ contribution to classroom snacks, and they were so easy to make that the kids helped me with every step! My children go to a peanut-free school, so all of these ingredients adhere to that requirement.

If you wanted to transform these cuties into Jack O’Lantern Rice Krispie Treats, you could add small shapes for facial features using a red Fruit-Roll Up, or with mini chocolate chips.
