Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats

One of my favorite things about fall is the arrival of pumpkin spice everything.

These pumpkin spice rice krispie squares are an easy and delicious treat that you can whip up in less than 5 minutes!

Even though my kids love these pumpkin spice rice krispie squares, they are definitely an indulgence for me.

Real pumpkin, just the right amount of pumpkin spice, and that gorgeous cream cheese drizzle. These are the perfect afternoon treat when you want something quick and satisfying – and they make a great option for a lunch box snack if you run out of treats during the week.

(Anyone else noticing that the “lunch box snacks” disappear far too quickly?)

Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Squares

Ingredients

• 4 cups marshmallows
• 6 cups puffed rice cereal
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
• Optional Cream Cheese Glaze:
• 2 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 1 Tablespoon cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• + milk, optionally, to thin out

Instructions

1. Melt the marshmallows and butter over the stove or in the microwave in 30 second bursts. Stir well in between heats to prevent scorching.

2. Once the marshmallows are melted and well stirred, add in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice, and then gently stir in the rice cereal, coating completely but being careful not to crush the cereal.

3. Spoon the mixture into a lined or buttered baking pan, and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

4. Just before serving, mix your cream cheese glaze together. You can drizzle this onto your pumpkin spice rice krispie treats with a spoon or a piping bag if you want more precision.
5. Optional: Sprinkle with extra pumpkin spice or cinnamon.?
