Do you love the first signs of fall? I sure do. I really, really love summer but when September/October comes around I just really get in the mood for everything fall related. Sweatshirts, cozy campfires, hot cocoa, and everything made with pumpkin spice.
I found this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie bars and was excited to try them out. If you love pumpkin pie, pumpkin spices, you’ll love these too! Such a yummy twist on the favorite Rice Krispie bars.
Yes, I am trying to eat more on the Paleo diet but let me tell you…I just have been having a rough few days. And yes, my way to cope is comfort foods. These Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie bars did the trick. 🙂
