Katy Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 They don’t contain pumpkin, just cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg? Sure. I make my kids pancakes & French Toast with it year round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Just please label them. As someone who is VERY allergic to cinnamon, rice crispy bars are something that I usually would consider safe, especially in July (around October-November NOTHING is safe, including packaged products due to cross-contamination). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanin Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I"d totally eat them, but for 4th of July, I'd probably not put the spices in them. But - if they were there - I'd eat them no matter what was in them 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I would be confused...I forget that there is something called pumpkin spice that doesn't have pumpkin in it. I was expecting these to be orange and wondered how someone would get pumpkin in them. I would be willing to try them, but I think you should leave the pumpkin word out of saying what they are because there is no pumpkin in it. If someone wants to know what spices are in it, just list them. We eat "spice" cake in my family--it has things like cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I'd pass if I knew what was in it. I don't think I'd care for the combo of the spices and M&Ms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I like pumpkin spice and rice crispies but those sound gross to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 No, I would not eat them because of the cinnamon. If you are serving these or peanut butter rice krispie treats at a get-together, please label them to help others know about the possible allergens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 These don't sound appetizing to me. I'd rather have regular rice krispie treats with m and ms on the side. I think there are red white and blue rice krispies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 No. I'm not a huge fan of the smell of maple when it's roasting hot outside. It does have me interested in making rice krispies treats with other flavors, though. Something to play with the buttery/marshmallowy flavor of the original..maybe mint with a dark chocolate drizzle on top, or an integrated caramel/chocolate element. Ds would probably love it if I figured out a way to incorporate dried cherries. Maybe we'll have to try that this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Died cherries and m&Ms would be my choice (no spices, though, but in the summer) We've also made them with knock-off fruit loops. Those were fun. I think I would do ½ rice krispies ½ fruit loops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 You'd have to make plain, too, because if I see them and then they're not 'really' rice krispie treats, I would cry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 You can do what you want, but I’m gonna vote Bad Idea. People like rice Krispy treats the way they are. They will tolerate a few m&ms or sprinkles for holiday color. There are already enough desserts that do cinnamon and nutmeg very well. I mean, I wouldn’t add it to lemon meringue pie; it’s just unnecessary. You might like them, but I think you’ll end up with a lot that have been discarded after one bite. I’d save this experiment for home where nobody will waste your efforts or complain. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It's an odd combination to me, with the chocolate in there. I'd probably pass unless I felt I had to try one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I think plain rice krispy treats would be best. That said, I recently had one that was soooo yummy. Brown butter and sea salt, iirc. Or maybe brown butter and salted caramel. It was sooooo good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I imagine that they will be gobbled up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 2 hours ago, Ordinary Shoes said: I used to have a recipe where you put Mars bars in the rice krispies. It was yummy. You melted the candy bars with the marshmellows and put cut up Mars bars on the top. Yummy but I'm sure very high in calories and fat. I don't think I've ever even had a mars bar, but that sounds pretty wow! I did a trio of rice krispie treats one year (regular, chocolate, p-butter) and used nutella with chocolate cereal for the chocolate. But that mars bar would be really nice too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneGG Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I love Rice Krispies! I’m not sure about all of those flavors combined but I would try it. This reminds me I should make some with golden grams and fruity pebbles at least once this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I’ve never liked regular Rice Krispies bars, although my husband loves them.

We made a batch the way this recipe is written and then did a batch with dark chocolate chips to help temper the cereal. The second batch was definitely better than the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I like fruity pebbles but iirc I mixed plain and fruity so they wouldn't be overly sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I wouldn’t eat that at any time of the year, but I’m a traditionalist. Rice Krispy treats are cereal, marshmallow and butter and pumpkin is for pies, bread and rarely, soup (rarely because I’m not a big fan of puréed soup). Others would love it, I’m sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
