You won’t be able to resist these Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats! They’re soft, chewy, pumpkin-spiced, buttery, and gooey—just like the original but even better.
Pumpkin spice rice krispie treats are the ultimate fall indulgence. They combine the warm and comforting flavors of pumpkin spice with the irresistible chewiness of a classic treat, like a cozy autumn hug in every delicious bite.
Fall is my favorite season. When PSL (pumpkin spice latte) hits Starbucks, I decorate for fall, make all things pumpkin, and get my Christmas music on queue. Yes, I am that person you see wearing sweaters, even at 90 degrees, once the leaves have started to change.
One of our favorite mid-week sweet treats is Rice Krispie Treats. We love them, and you can’t beat our recipe!
I made a batch of my Churro Rice Krispie treats and loved them, so I just simply replaced the cinnamon and sugar combination with pumpkin spice, and it worked out beautifully!
What makes this treat so special is that you may personalize it by varying the amount of pumpkin pie spice used. I propose using the suggested quantity in the recipe as a starting point and then fine-tuning from there.
Tips for making this recipe!
Salted butter makes all the difference – that touch of salt is subtle but it enhances the flavor of these bars.
Instead of completely melting the marshmallows, we leave it a little lumpy. That way, there are plenty of pockets of ooey-gooeyness in the bars.
The recipe makes enough for nine dessert bars, just the perfect amount so you don’t overindulge.

How to make pumpkin spice marshmallow treats.
Butter an 8×8″ baking pan.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until almost melted; leave a few not fully melted for extra texture. Stir in pumpkin spice seasoning until well combined.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in cereal until cereal is well coated.
Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice if you desire. Enjoy!
