\"Limited<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those three words have popped into my head a few times while eating Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies Treats.<\/p>\n

So far, I\u2019ve eaten 13 of the 40 bars that are in the box, but I\u2019m not sure <\/em> my mass consumption is a full you-must-buy-these endorsement. First off, 40 treats is A LOT for one or two people. I\u2019m at 14 (yes, I ate another one while typing this paragraph), and I\u2019m getting kind of tired of them.<\/p>\n

When I first gazed upon the rectangular treat, I thought it had an orange hue. But as I stared at it, I wondered if my eyes were playing tricks on me and that its wrapper is influencing its color. When I look at one in the light and away from any wrappers, it looks like a usual pale Rice Krispies Treat, but at the same time, I\u2019m not sure<\/em> about that because it also looks orangey. My eyes and brain are so confused.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Dried pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices are ingredients. There’s cinnamon. Yay! Ginger. Yay! Nutmeg. Yay! Allspice. Yay! Acetylated monoglycerides. I\u2019m not sure<\/em> what that is!<\/p>\n

Those ingredients do give the treats an almost authentic pumpkin pie flavor, albeit a bit mild. I recently tried the Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat and they have a bold flavor. If those SHOUT pumpkin pie, these are more like a normal conversation in a quiet room. At first, I thought it was a bit too light because the flavor of a regular Rice Krispies Treat comes through with each bite. But after eating so many of them, I think snack Stockholm syndrome has kicked in and now it\u2019s just right.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

But the thing with the pie flavor is that I\u2019m not sure<\/em> where it\u2019s coming from. I know the icing has it because when I take a bite with the white drizzle, my taste buds get that mild pumpkin pie flavor. But when I take a bite from its undercarriage, sans icing, I sometimes get spices and other times it tastes like I\u2019m biting into a regular Rice Krispies Treat.<\/p>\n

I have 25 left (yes, I ate another). They\u2019re good, but not I\u2019m-going-to-eat-all-40 good. Hopefully, next year they\u2019re available in a less Costco-like size. But if you can pawn them off to your co-workers, friends, or kid\u2019s classmates to gain brownie points, I mean, Rice Krispies Treats points, go ahead and buy a box, and then give the rest to others after you\u2019ve eaten your share.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Impulsive Buy reader Carla for sending a box to me!<\/b><\/p>\n
