About
Oooh what a twist on a childhood favorite! Pumpkin Spice Treats suspend crispy rice cereal in a matrix of sticky, sweet, and melty marshmallows (just as you'd expect), but this time with golden, warmly-spiced pumpkin flavor infused into each bite, making THE perfect treat for fall! You can even add a little orange food dye to really get into that pumpkin feeling! We wouldn't mind enjoying these Pumpkin Spice Treats all year round though... in fact, we would welcome it!
