Pumpkin Spice Chex Treats

If you like the idea of making a seasonal Fall dessert but aren’t down with the idea of  actually baking, this is the dessert for you! These pumpkin spice Chex treats are as easy as opening a few bags and stirring. That’s pretty much it. 


I chose cinnamon Chex over the traditional krispies because..

A. Cinnamon 

B. Chex has more of a crunch rather than just a light crisp (I’m sorry, “Krisp”) that I enjoy 

C. After already knowing I loved A & B, I made them and realized that I also love that Chex are hollow inside. It makes for a great texture as you bite into them. Me likey. 


I’ve gotten pumpkin spice marshmallows at both Walmart and 99c Only. Of course, you could always do regular marshmallows and add your own spice mix, but buying these makes it even easier. 




Pumpkin Spice Chex Treats 


1 stick butter (1/2 cup)

2-8oz bags pumpkin spice marshmallows 

1 tsp vanilla 

8 cups cinnamon Chex 


In a pot melt the butter over low heat. Add in your marshmallows and melt them down, stirring often. 


Stir in your vanilla extract and then pour in your Chex. Fold carefully to coat the cereal evenly. 


Spread into a 9x13 pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Disperse evenly but don’t press them into place so as not to make the treats too dense and hard. 


*You can also use a 10 inch square pan if you like your treats thicker. 





The texture I love from the Chex being hollow
