Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies Treats are a delightful fall-themed twist on the classic marshmallow cereal treat. Featuring a buttery marshmallow crust and a gooey pumpkin-spiced filling, this easy-to-make recipe offers a fun and festive snack perfect for autumn gatherings and holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cups Marshmallows
  • 1 splash Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies Cereal

For the Filling

  • 2.5 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 3 cups Marshmallows
  • A few drops Orange Food Coloring (optional)
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal

For Decoration

  • Whipped Cream to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1.5 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 2 cups of marshmallows and stir consistently until completely melted, about 2–3 minutes. Add a splash of vanilla extract and stir well. Remove from heat and fold in 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and allow it to cool and set.
  2. Make the Filling: In the same saucepan, melt 2.5 tablespoons of butter along with 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice over medium-low heat. Once melted, add 3 cups of marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth, about 2–3 minutes. Optionally, add a few drops of orange food coloring to enhance the seasonal appearance and stir until evenly mixed. Remove from heat and fold in 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Press this mixture firmly over the cooled crust layer in the pan.
  3. Serve: Allow the layered treats to cool completely in the pan for 30–45 minutes to firm up. Once set, carefully invert the treats onto a serving plate. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut into wedges or bars for clean slices. Garnish with whipped cream if desired and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Using fresh, soft marshmallows yields the chewiest texture.
  • You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a homemade blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • For a dairy-free option, use margarine instead of butter and coconut whipped cream for topping.
  • Dipping your knife in hot water between cuts helps make clean slices without sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
