Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispy Treats

I just realized I'd never posted this tasty snack though I've made them the last couple of years.

A simple and fun fall treat the kids can help make...made easy by adding a box of instant pumpkin spice pudding mix to the melted marshmallow mixture.

(Say that fast 3 times!!=)

Everyone needs a quick and easy 'go to' and this one is extra special fall treat. 

The pudding mix can sometimes be a bit hard to find, but you can also substitute 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice and it's yummy too. 

Be sure to stock up if you do find the pudding because it won't be on shelves for long! 

I love that it's quick and easy so can be made when you're in a rush to

find something to take to that fall festival or gathering!

The melted white chocolate over the top is optional, as are the

cutsie sprinkles, but doncha just love that special touch?  

TIP:  Try to press the cereal into the pan LIGHTLY!  If you press too hard,
the mixture tends to harden and makes it tough. 

PUMPKIN SPICE RICE KRISPY TREATS 

6 c. Rice Krispies

1/4 c. butter

1 (10 ozs.) bag mini marshmallows

(Or if you can find them, using pumpkin flavored marshmallows! squeal!)

1 sm. (4-serv. size) box pumpkin spice instant pudding  

(Butterscotch is super good too) 

Lightly spray 9" x 13" dish with cooking spray. 

In a large saucepan, melt the butter.  Add the marshmallows and

dry pudding mix.  Over low heat, stir constantly (I used a whisk) until mixture is blended and smooth.  Stir in the rice krispies; stir until coated. Dump mixture into prepared pan; press evenly, (but not too hard). Let cool; cut and serve.

MMMM good!
