Its pumpkin spice season. You can find pumpkin spice in many places and you can even find it on the cereal isle. Cherrios has a pumpkin spice version and it can be made into these fabulous pumpkin spice Cherrio bars.
These are similar to a rice krispie treat but they have the addition of caramel. Caramel pairs so well with the pumpkin spice. However, it doesn’t stop there. They also get a drizzling of melted white chocolate over the top of them.
