Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispies Treats

Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispies Treats – super fun Halloween treats that use no additional coloring dye beside the orange pumpkin marshmallow Peeps! The addition of pumpkin spice makes them a great fall treat for kids and adults! 

Pumpkin treats are always a hit. You can make my Pumpkin Pie Crumb Bars or the Pumpkin Spice Pretzels too!

If you like cute holiday treats or you are feeling crafty, this recipe is for you! This super easy and fun treat for Halloween is made with pumpkin-shaped marshmallow Peeps! I melted them into one gooey, sticky marshmallow sweetness, mixed with rice crispies cereal and a little bit of pumpkin spice. They were a hit with my kids and their friends!

Ingredients (your shopping list):

• pumpkin marshmallow Peeps
• butter
• Rice Krispies cereal
• pumpkin spice
• semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• Start by buttering a large mixing bowl and a rectangular baking dish. Place cereal in the bowl.
• Melt butter with marshmallows in a pan.
• Add pumpkin spice and pour mixture over cereal. Stir.
• Spread mixture in prepared pan. Add chocolate chips on top.
• Let sit until set.

Pumpkin Marshmallow Peeps

As the description of this post says, I did not use any additional food coloring or dye other than what’s already in the pumpkin Peeps. I hate trying to mess with the coloring and not get the right pumpkin orange shade. Problem solved! All you need to do is melt butter, add the marshmallow pumpkin Peeps and let them melt. Mixed with rice krispies cereal it will make thick and delicious bars with the right pumpkin shade of orange.

Can I double this recipe?

You can make the bars in a 13″ x 9″ pan but they won’t be as thick as the ones on photos. You can easily double the recipe for a bigger crowd!

Storing

To prevent the treats from drying out, it is best to keep them in a container with lid, at room temperature.
