Enjoy the flavors of pumpkin pie in a cereal treat. These 3-ingredient Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats will make a wonderful dessert for fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkin<\/p>\n

If you love the flavor of pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread and you love Rice Krispie Treats, you can combine the two into one delicious fall dessert.<\/p>\n

When I first decided to make pumpkin-flavored rice crispy treats I went the obvious route of adding pumpkin puree to our very best Rice Krispie Treat recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I knew I needed to remove as much moisture from the pumpkin puree as possible, so I spread it on paper towels and pressed out all the liquid before stirring it into the marshmallow and cereal mixture. Then I added pumpkin pie spice.<\/p>\n

I had high hopes!<\/p>\n

Did Pumpkin Puree Work?<\/h2>\n

NOPE!<\/p>\n

The flavor was wonderful, but sadly the texture was awful.<\/p>\n

The pumpkin treats tasted stale and soggy. Not good.<\/p>\n

So, I had to find an alternative.<\/p>\n

\"Kraft<\/p>\n

Kraft Jet-Puffed Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows<\/h2>\n

These pumpkin-shaped and pumpkin spice flavored marshmallows worked perfectly.<\/p>\n

They added just the right amount of pumpkin pie flavor to the treats. They also gave the treats a nice fall color.<\/p>\n

I do realize these are a seasonal product. If you can't find the marshmallows, you can opt to add a bit of pumpkin flavoring to the marshmallows, then add pumpkin pie spice.<\/p>\n

I have not tried this, so I can't tell you exact measurements, but I'm guessing you'll need \u00bd - 1 teaspoon pumpkin flavoring and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice (unless the oil is already flavored with the spices).<\/p>\n
