Looking for a fun Fall or Halloween Treat? These easy cornflake pumpkins are sure to be a hit!

Yay! It is officially September, which in my book means all things pumpkin! My three year old isn’t crazy about the actual pumpkin flavor (not that I won’t keep trying!) but I wanted to make a festive treat that we could all enjoy making and eating together. What better than these easy cornflake pumpkins?

Cornflake Pumpkins

I first thought of these cute cornflake pumpkins because of the Easy Cornflake Wreaths that Lauren shared on the blog last year for Christmas!  What kid doesn’t love those?  

If you want some other perfect fall treats, try our gourmet caramel apples or our amazing 

Anyway, I had a great time creating these little pumpkins in the kitchen with my two little helpers! It’s a great treat to make with kids, because it is quick, easy and of course, delicious.

Don’t get caught up in making perfect pumpkin shapes. This mixture is super sticky and the more you touch it the harder it is to work with! Just drop a large spoonful in place, and I promise they will look pumpkin enough!

My kids favorite part was sticking in the stems (and sneaking them of course!) cute little hooligans! Also, may I just add, these taste WAYYY better than rice crispy treats in my opinion. We always make ours with corn flakes around these parts.. mmmm hmmm!
