8 Fantastic Recipes To Get You In The Mood For Fall

by Karly Wood August 11, 2017

This summer has been relentless. Scorching and muggy days, with stuffy nights that just don’t seem be ending anytime soon. I catch myself longing for sunsets at 4:45pm and chilly nights that make me want to dress in layers. To say that I’m excited for Fall is an understatement. I pretty much love everything about it, and the food is no exception. To keep me looking forward to the autumn season, I’ve rounded up some of the best looking Fall recipes I could find. I hope you enjoy.

1. Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate

Nothing says cold weather like a cup of hot chocolate. What better way to welcome Fall with open arms than to drink a Pumpkin Spice White hot chocolate? This is the perfect drink to enjoy on the porch, after a chilly day at school, or in front of the fireplace. Made with real pumpkin and no coffee, everyone in the family can enjoy this seasonal favorite.

2. Pumpkin Pecan Baked Brie

Baked Brie is probably one of my favorite ways to enjoy cheese. It’s creamy and perfectly suited for almost any bread or cracker. To make this dish Fall-ready, the Brie is topped with pumpkin butter, wrapped in pastry dough and then topped with crunchy pecans. This is seriously the essence of Fall, all neatly tied together in a mouth-watering flaky crust!

3. Creamy Butternut Squash Alfredo

Pumpkin isn’t the only gourd in town during the Autumn season- there are plenty of other squashes (hope that’s a word!) that are totally delicious. Creamy and nutty butternut squash is one of my favorites and this alfredo looks SO good. It’s a nice change to traditional spaghetti, and yes, that IS bacon on top. Could this meal get any better?

4. Apple Cider Chicken with Caramelized Apples

Fall conjures up fun images of apple picking (at least it does for me) and that’s what make this dish a perfect autumn recipe. The chicken is made to simmer in a tasty apple cider vinegar sauce, that will sit alongside deliciously caramelized apples. This recipe is Fall perfection.

7 Perfect Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat Recipes

by Karly Wood August 7, 2017

written by Karly Wood

The Fall season is upon is! Sure, I’m still sweating like it’s the dead of summer (because in California, even though it’s August, we are just getting started) but it’s the thought of crisp days and sweaters that keep me going. While I barely give pumpkins the time of day the rest of the year, mid-August to November is fair game and I can’t get my hands on enough hand soap, candles and recipes that feature this fall-festive fruit. Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats are super popular this time of year and that’s why we’ve rounded up a list of some of the best recipes out there. Enjoy!

1. Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats

Let’s start with the most basic of treats, the Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat. This is a small spin off your traditional krispie treat, and only requires the addition of about an 1/8 of a cup of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Mix together like usual and you have not only a festive looking and tasting orange treat, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to make your house smell divine too.

Check out MomMakesJoy.com for the full recipe and other ways to create a life of calm.

2. Pumpkin Spice Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

Kicking it up a notch with this next recipe, because it’s got all the pumpkin spice goodness PLUS a gooey layer of caramel. If that doesn’t scream “Fall!” then I don’t know what will. These krispie treats are layered around a thicky layer of melted caramel and are flavored with pumpkin pie spice for that ultimate autumn feel.

Visit CocoAndAsh.com for the full recipe and other delicious family recipes.

3. Pumpkin Spice Latte Krispie Treats

These Pumpkin Spice Latte treats use a pumpkin flavored marshmallow- which sounds like a piece of heaven. After some research, I’m not quite sure that Kraft makes their Jet-Puffed pumpkin marshmallows year round, or even at all anymore, but I know there are other brands that might. Additionally, I’m sure you could add ample pumpkin pie spice to get the pumpkin-y flavor! The best part about this recipe (in my opinion) is the melted white chocolate on top that really gives it that creamy feel. Delish!

You need this recipe and tons of other baked goodies, so head over to InsideBruCrewLife.com!

4. Caramel Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treat Pinwheels

I know, we already talked about caramel pumpkin treats but these are PINWHEELS! Layers of pumpkin rice krispies, gooey marshmallow and sticky caramel are all combined and then rolled into the prettiest pinwheels ever. Can you even eat a rice krispie square again when these are the alternative? I think not!

5. Pumpkin Shaped Rice Krispie Treats

You can’t have an article about pumpkin rice krispie treats without including at least one version that LOOKS like a pumpkin! This is also a great option for those of you who don’t actually like the taste of pumpkin (I don’t know who you are but I know you’re out there), because these are just colored with orange food coloring! Form into balls instead of spreading in a pan and then garnish with some creative pretzels and fondant to get the real pumpkin look.

6. Pumpkin Cookie Butter Rice Krispie Treats

You had me at COOKIE BUTTER. If you haven’t tried this amazing treat in a jar, then you, my friends, are missing out. I’ve always bought mine at Trader Joe’s and had no idea that a pumpkin flavor even existed, but you can bet I’ll be stocking up this Fall! This recipe mixes cookie butter into the krispies AND in a delicious thick layer on top that’s combined with chocolate. This recipe can’t lose!

7. Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies With French Toast Glaze

Butterscotch, pumpkin and french toast? This is a sugar overload if I ever heard one- but a delicious one at that! Pumpkin and butterscotch are mixed into the krispies, and then two types of sugar and cinnamon are combined to make a glaze that is out of this world. Wouldn’t these be amazing with a cup of coffee?
