Looking to whip up something delicious and festive this fall? Look no further than these Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies Treats! This recipe takes your typical rice krispie treats to the next level by infusing them with the warm and cozy flavors of pumpkin pie. And the best part? You probably already have all the ingredients you need in your pantry!
To make these sweet treats, all you need is some rice krispies cereal, marshmallows, butter, pumpkin puree, and a few spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Simply melt the butter and marshmallows in a saucepan, stir in the pumpkin puree and spices, and then mix in the rice krispies cereal. After that, all that’s left to do is press the mixture into a pie dish and let it set.
But why stop there? Add some flair to your Pumpkin Rice Krispie Pie by decorating it with piped whipped cream, frosting, and sprinkles. This is a great way to involve the kids in the baking process and make it a fun and interactive activity for the whole family. Whether you’re celebrating fall or Thanksgiving, these Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies Treats are sure to be a hit!
Recipe Notes:
- Spray some nonstick cooking spray on your hands to prevent the freshly made rice krispie mixture from sticking to you if you use your hands to gently press after spreading the mixture into the pie or pie pan.
- While I used orange food coloring for the center of the pumpkin pie, you could also use orange candy melts instead.
- I’ve used graham crackers for the outer crust of the cake, but you can also use vanilla crackers or Golden Oreos.
- Decorate your pumpkin rice krispie cake with whipped cream or add some orange and white sprinkles to the top of the cake while it’s still slightly gooey.
- If you don’t have a microwave, you can easily use the stove to combine the marshmallows and butter.
HOW SHOULD I STORE PUMPKIN PIE RICE KRISPIES TREATS?
These fall-inspired rice krispie treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days before they start to lose their crispness.
I like to line my container with parchment paper to prevent these treats from sticking to the bottom of the container, eliminating mess. You can also layer parchment paper between stacked slices of these pumpkin krispie treats.
