Have I mentioned we like pumpkin recipes in my house? Maybe once or twice? I decided to experiment a little bit and add pumpkin to rice crispy treats. It was really simple but definitely gave a kick to the normal version.
Just pick up pumpkin pie spice and caramel syrup in addition to rice crispy treat ingredients on your next grocery trip and you have instant fall treats.
My family was more than happy to taste test this variation. They all gave it a thumbs up. Josh said you can definitely taste the pumpkin spice and I have to agree. If you want them to be less “spicy” you could use less. I loved the caramel added to them. But then again, I love caramel added to anything.

Hmmmm….wonder what else I could add pumpkin to?
I linked up this recipe to eighteen 25.
I’m visiting you today from eighteen25. Your site is full of amazing ideas! My weekly linky party–One Creative Weekend–has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit “One Creative Weekend” on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
Thanks for visiting Heidi! I love the eighteen25 girls. ;)
Looks so delicious and I love how it’s perfect for a Fall day, especially with a cup of hot apple cider or wine (ha!)
