7 Perfect Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat Recipes (2024)

The Fall season is upon is! Sure, I’m still sweating like it’s the dead of summer (because in California, even though it’s August, we are just getting started) but it’s the thought of crisp days and sweaters that keep me going. While I barely give pumpkins the time of day the rest of the year, mid-August to November is fair game and I can’t get my hands on enough hand soap, candles and recipes that feature this fall-festive fruit. Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats are super popular this time of year and that’s why we’ve rounded up a list of some of the best recipes out there. Enjoy!

1. Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats

Let’s start with the most basic of treats, the Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat. This is a small spin off your traditional krispie treat, and only requires the addition of about an 1/8 of a cup of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Mix together like usual and you have not only a festive looking and tasting orange treat, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to make your house smell divine too.

2. Pumpkin Spice Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

Kicking it up a notch with this next recipe, because it’s got all the pumpkin spice goodness PLUS a gooey layer of caramel. If that doesn’t scream “Fall!” then I don’t know what will. These krispie treats are layered around a thicky layer of melted caramel and are flavored with pumpkin pie spice for that ultimate autumn feel.

3. Pumpkin Spice Latte Krispie Treats

These Pumpkin Spice Latte treats use a pumpkin flavored marshmallow- which sounds like a piece of heaven. After some research, I’m not quite sure that Kraft makes their Jet-Puffed pumpkin marshmallows year round, or even at all anymore, but I know there are other brands that might. Additionally, I’m sure you could add ample pumpkin pie spice to get the pumpkin-y flavor! The best part about this recipe (in my opinion) is the melted white chocolate on top that really gives it that creamy feel. Delish!

7. Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies With French Toast Glaze

Butterscotch, pumpkin and french toast? This is a sugar overload if I ever heard one- but a delicious one at that! Pumpkin and butterscotch are mixed into the krispies, and then two types of sugar and cinnamon are combined to make a glaze that is out of this world. Wouldn’t these be amazing with a cup of coffee?
