These pumpkin rice krispie treats have both pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice mixed straight into these classic cereal treats. Not only are they ooey gooey, but also have the perfect crunch from the cereal!
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and then non-stick spray. Set aside.
Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir occasionally until completely melted.
Remove the pot from the heat and mix in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Add the Rice Krispie cereal and gently fold together using a wooden spoon until evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use a piece of parchment paper that's been sprayed with non-stick spray to press it down into an even layer. Wait about 20 minutes for the bars to cool before making the glaze.
Cinnamon Cream Glaze
In a small bowl mix together the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and cinnamon. Put the glaze into a small sandwhich bag, cutting a small hole in the corner, and drizzle it over the cooled Rice Krispie bars.
Slice them into 16 small bars or 9 large bars. Keep any leftover bars in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
