A classic Rice Krispies Treat is one of our favorite things to bring to a bake sale, pack in a lunch box or munch on after dinner. So when October rolls around, and you might be looking for some spooky sweets, look no further than this recipe.
The only things you'll need to create these adorable, pumpkin-y treats is food coloring and a pumpkin cookie cutter. We topped ours with candy corn eyes and chocolate mouths but you can go nuts with how you want to decorate them. Definitely feel free to go for a classic jagged mouth, or take inspiration from your favorite emoji.
