Inspired by Pinterest, I set out to create these Rice Krispie Pumpkins! As usual, what looks easy on Pinterest sometimes isn’t so, and making these pumpkins was a little trial and error. Learn from me and wait a bit for the gooey Rice Krispie mess to cool before trying to roll it into balls!

Those looks great, Tenille! My son saw the picture and started saying “yum, yum,yum”
Looks good, I love rice krispie squares, so thes should be great!
Aww cute. Yummy! Thanks Tenille. Sorry about your burnt hands.
LOL not burned just really ooey gooey sticky messy – a bit of a gong show until I let it cool long enough! I was scared if I waited too long it would get hard but that isn’t the case – just have more patience than me!
Adorable! Almost too cute to eat!
These are darling!
