If you need a quick, fast and easy, super simple treat to take to the office or class party, I’ve got you covered.  These pumpkin Spice Krispie Bars are all dressed up for Fall, but just as easy as ever.

I’ve seen some recipes for pumpkin spice rice krispie bars floating around that sound pretty yummy – they involve pumpkin puree in your mix and I thought I might give them a try.  Then I was at the grocery store and saw these pumpkin spice marshmallows . . . seemed too easy, but why not?

I used the original Rice Krispie Recipe just subbing in the pumpkin marshmallows; then to add a little more sweet-cinnamon fall flavor I sprinkled the top with a sugar and spice mix and topped it off with some fall sprinkles {you could use Halloween sprinkles too}.  So easy and fun – don’t you love it when the simple things really do work!  {Now stop stressing about the class party treats or goodies for your coworkers – you can check them off your list.}

Note:  The bag of pumpkin marshmallows weighs less than regular marshmallows, the recipe of the back of the bag calls for 5 cups of rice krispies, but I added the full 6 cups and thought they had plenty of gooey goodness to them.

Your friends will love this fun little treat – take them into the office, or wrap them up as Halloween or Thanksgiving goodies!
