Ingredients for pumpkin spice rice krispie treats:

  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree – You can also easily make homemade canned pumpkin too.
  • 1 (10 oz.) bag mini marshmallows
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 2 oz. white chocolate

How to make pumpkin rice krispie treats:

1. Choose your desired size baking pan (I used a 9×9 pan, but for thinner treats use 11×7 or 13×9) and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in pumpkin puree (See how to make pumpkin puree) and cook until warmed through.

3. Add marshmallows by folding them in, stirring frequently until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the melted marshmallow mixture. You can use 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice if you do not have the individual spices.
