Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispie Treats
All the flavors of fall combined into a favorite snack! These pumpkin pie Rice Krispie treats are spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, with the rich taste of pumpkin adding delicious flavor!
Did you know that the famous pumpkin spice latte has been around for 10 years?
That’s 10 years since the spicy pumpkin flavors we generally associated with the season pretty much became the official flavor of fall.

Since then, pumpkin spice has become the brunt of plenty of jokes. People call it “basic” and love making fun of the people who drink pumpkin spice lattes. But there’s a reason it’s still around: pumpkin spice is delicious.
Love pumpkin? You definitely need to see my recipes for pumpkin bread made with cake mix, pumpkin crisp, pumpkin scones, pumpkin cinnamon rolls and the most delicious vanilla pumpkin smoothie!
Another reason why we all keep drinking and eating pumpkin everything when fall comes around the leaves start changing color? It’s adaptable.
Just about every sweet item (like the pumpkin spice rice krispie treats recipe below) can easily be changed to make them “pumpkin spiced.”
Side note: Even some savory items pair well with pumpkin spice! Trader Joe’s Autumnal Harvest pasta sauce is incredible and their pumpkin soup is also amazing.

You’ll find the full list of ingredients with the right measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this article. This part of the article is to give you information and details on optimal ingredients.
Rice Krispies cereal – I’m going to go against the grain and tell you that I don’t think the Kellogg’s brand product is necessary for this recipe. Aldi’s Crispy Rice cereal is just as good as the name brand, and most grocery stores have a generic version that’s identical or nearly the same as Rice Krispies.
Marshmallows – The most important thing about any marshmallows you use is that they’re fresh and fluffy. Don’t use them if they’re sticky or compressed in the package. For brands, I prefer using Jet-Puffed marshmallows, but any reliable brand of fresh ones will work.
Butter– Use unsalted butter if you can. Salted butter won’t ruin your pumpkin rice krispie treats, it just adds extra salt that’s not called for in this recipe.

Review your instructions on the Rice Krispie with Pumpkin

The instructions are not all there . Missing some parts
Mark McDonough says
when do you add the Rice Krispies
Ryan says
Added rice crispy after combining melted marshmallows and pumpkin. My rice crispies went soggy. Not sure how to change it so this doesn’t happen.
Helena says
I think that you have to put pumpkin purée on paper towel to absorb liquid prior to adding to recipe. Maybe about 15 minutes or so.
Sheilah says
I wonder if you pop your finished krispies into the oven for a bit of that would crisp then back up???
Robin says
