Fall is here! That means cozy sweaters, crunchy leaves on the ground, cute boots and PUMPKIN!
I am a sucker for all things pumpkin flavored – cookies, breads, pancakes, drinks – if pumpkin can go in it, then chances are I am going to love it.
Today’s recipe is taking one of the most classic desserts (rice crispy treats) and adding a delicious combination of pumpkin and marshmallow. Rice crispy treats are never going to be the same! The light pumpkin flavor and the fluffy frosting on top will make these quick treats a family favorite!
The secret ingredient in these treats: JET-PUFFED Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows! My kids and I eat these marshmallows straight out of the bag, but they are amazing in rice crispy treats! Top off the crispy treats with a homemade marshmallow frosting and you have an amazing dessert!

Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal

- Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
- Spray an 8x8" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
