Pumpkin All the Things

Want to hear my new motto? Every dessert is a pumpkin dessert if you try hard and believe in yourself.

From September to December, I want pumpkin in EVERYTHING.

• Cookies– Pumpkin Oatmeal cookies
• Cupcakes– Pumpkin Cupcakes
• Coffee- Pumpkin Cream cold brew
• Breakfast– Pumpkin Cinnamon rolls

In fact, much of the time I don’t need the real pumpkin so much as I need the pumpkin spices. You can’t have fall without cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of ginger to warm things up.

If you like pumpkin spice even half as much as I do, you NEED to try these! And if you love rice krispie treats, well, get to the kitchen now.

Soft, sticky, gooey rice krispie goodness filled with pumpkin spice flavor and topped with a thin layer of white chocolate.

Swooning guaranteed. Try our pumpkin pie rice krispie treats or this super moist and delicious batch of pumpkin spice bars next!

Ingredient Notes

• JELL-O Mix – Vanilla instant pudding mix is the perfect sweet addition to our krispie treats.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice- using store bought spice mix works, or make a jar of homemade pumpkin pie spice to use in all your fall baking!
• Marshmallows – I used regular sized marshmallows this time. 10 ounces of mini marshmallows work too. Make sure they’re FRESH. I promise it makes a difference. Homemade marshmallows work great too.
• White chocolate – White chocolate morsels melted in the microwave add a beautiful and creamy touch to these treats. For smoother melting, you can also use Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers.
• Sprinkles – To make your pumpkin rice krispies more festive, use colorful sprinkles! For Halloween, consider orange and black ones, or use a mix of autumn colors like yellow, orange and brown.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Melt butter. Use a large pot to melt the butter over medium high heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth, over low heat.
2. Add cereal. Once melted, add pudding mix and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth. Fold in cereal.
3. Pour in to the pan. Pour mixture into buttered foil lined rimmed baking pan (or parchment paper). Lightly press the mixture into the pan.
4. Toppings. Spread melted white chocolate over top of treats and sprinkle immediately with sprinkles. Allow to set about 1 hour. Cut into bars and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Use a LIGHT touch when pressing the treats into the pan. If you press too hard the treats will dry out and become hard. I repeat, DO NOT press hard. To keep your hands from getting sticky when pressing the treats into the pan, dampen your fingers with water first.
• I use the butter wrapper to grease the pan. This adds just the right amount of butter to keep the treats from sticking without making them oily.

Instructions 

• Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. Grease the foil with butter (I use the butter wrapper to grease the foil dish). Or use parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add in marshmallows and stir constantly until melted (reduce heat to low). Remove from heat and quickly stir in pudding mix and pumpkin spice. Fold in cereal.
• Pour mixture into buttered foil pan. Press treats into pan (but not too hard, that will dry them out).
• Spread melted white chocolate over top of treats and sprinkle immediately with sprinkles. Allow to set about 1 hour. Cut and serve. ENJOY.
