Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy Treats Recipe
Everybody knows and loves the original rice crispy treat recipe. It was a staple for me as a child, and I made them for my son too! It doesn’t take much to spice-up (hehe, get it!?) the original recipe to make it a fabulous seasonal or holiday treat! This recipe uses pumpkin spice and cinnamon – two very fall-ish spices. You may also want to try apple pie spice with the cinnamon if you prefer an apple-ish taste.
Notes:
● You do not have to add the chocolate if you do not want.
● You can use white chocolate + festive fall sprinkles!
● You can stir in a few drops of orange food coloring to white chocolate (after you have melted the white chocolate) for a more fall-ish looking treat!
● Spray your spoon and spatula with non-stick spray help prevent sticking.
● Use a potato masher to press down firmly on the crispy rice treats! It will compact well, and allow them to be uniform in height.
