Description
This is a classic snack that you can’t go wrong with, but make it fall-oriented. Better yet: pumpkin! These Pumpkin Rice Krispies treats are a great option for school Halloween parties (double-check to ensure your ingredients are safe for allergies), get-togethers with family and friends, and even fall birthday parties. You can wrap them individually to be gifted as favors. This recipe makes about 12 treats.
