You knew this was coming, right? I mean you all expected this! Gingerbread Krispie Treats. Made with the new, seasonal JELL-O Gingerbread pudding mix.
For a fun twist, I threw in some white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
Oh, and then I topped it with some melted white chocolate and crushed Gingersnap cookies.
This might be one of my favorite varieties yet. No kidding!!
Needless to say, when it comes to Rice Krispie Treats I seriously have zero willpower.
I have been known to eat an entire batch before anyone is home from school and work. Just cutting small slices throughout the day (okay. Large slices).
But these? I ate ONLY 5 and packaged the rest of them up for my husband to take to work. 5 giant Krispie Treats. Now that’s willpower, hehe!!

Hahaha, you sound like me! Every time I walk by a pan of Rice Krispie treats I cut a slice off telling myself that it’s only a little piece. Well, those little pieces add up, eh? These sounds delicious. Wanna share?

Mmmm! I am a BIG sucker for gingerbread!
These look AMAZING!!
I’ve been trying to come up with a fantastic dessert idea to take to a pot luck we do often with friends. Something not messy but also would make the kids and adults want a bite.
These are the ticket! Thank you so much for sharing!
I think I might need to make the banana Krispies too! Good Golly!
Banana might not get shared either…
Guess it’s time to make a double batch.
Rice Krispie Treats don’t stand a chance against me. These look pretty darned delicious! I can’t wait to try these:)

I love gingerbread and I don’t think I add it to enough things. I will have to get looking for that pudding!
If you had to have a weakness, there are much worse things than rice krispie treats! I love the look of those mini marshamallows in the mix!

Rice krispie treats are my weakness, no doubt. You are a better person then me though. I would have eaten the whole pan and then blamed it on the dog.

Your gingerbread Rice Krispies look amazing!!! Icannot find the jello gingerbread pudding-will you share the store you bought it at?? I am craving them and cannot make them:(
Guess I am the only one who tried this wonderful recipe. Whempn I put the instant pudding mix in the mixture and the rice Krispies become a huge glob and was hard to put onto a pan and the was almost difficult to ut. What did I do wrong…I made it twice. Tasted good just to difficult and to thick to manage. Sorry.
Hi Ruth,
I’m not sure what might have happened?! I make krispie treats with pudding all the time! Did you mix in the pudding mix real good before adding the cereal? I’m at a loss here…as I’m not sure what could have been different! Sorry!!
I had the same problem. I think maybe the heat needs to be raised a smidge to keep the mix pliable or kept over the low heat while mixing. Other than that, they turned out fine. My husband said they were too sweet, I liked the flavor, but would use less white morsels, or not use them in the mix, just on top. I was really surprised that my husband said they were too sweet as he has a sweet tooth the size of a skyscraper! The gingerbread pudding imparted a nice flavor.
Thanks for the feedback Barbara! They are definitely sweet!!!
Aimee -A thought occurred to me that the difference could possibly be the stove – gas vs electric – direct flame vs heated element? I find that using my electric stove on low is “too low” sometimes and bump it up a notch when melting, etc. What type of stove do you use?
SO SAD! Can’t find Gingerbread Pudding anywhere in the Milwaukee area! I went to Jell-o website and they listed a couple of outlets here and they don’t have it and never did! BUMMED big time! suggestions? anybody have some they can ship me??
ditto here Michele
very hard to find the fancy pudding here, now that i am addicted! I see you can get a four pack on amazon for $13.44, ouch!
Hi Elizabeth, I see on ebay there is a case (24!) for sale. cost ends up being about $1.50/box. we should get a few people together and buy and split it!
that is crazy! I need to go into business on ebay!!!! I have searched and searched here, I am going to add peppermint essential oil for the peppermint treats with vanilla pudding and see how that turns out,,,,
I can’t seem to find the gingerbread jello mix. Is there anything else I can use to substitute it with?
It’s such a unique flavor, it would be hard to substitute. But you can use the same concept with any flavor of JELL-O pudding mix. Or add in some chopped up Gingerbread Oreo cookies to help give it some gingerbread flavor! I think next year I need to have a big giveaway with all the seasonal flavors of Oreos and pudding mix!!!
I think I might try the butterscotch as a substitute-maybe half a box ?
You can use a whole box! Go for it
I actually looked online and they carry it at KMart. I almost didn’t find it. until I asked someone. I gave them a big hug, when she showed me the display. They were on sale for 69 cents, so I bought several boxes! Thank you! I’m making these, this weekend.
Yeah!!! So glad you found them!!!

Yikes! I’m making these this evening and couldn’t find that crazy pudding anywhere!
( Think I can pull it off with vanilla pudding and extra ginger?
Hmmm, definitely the vanilla pudding…not too sure about just ginger. Maybe add some cinnamon and cloves too (with ginger). And molasses….
aimee @ shugarysweets recently posted..Candy Cane Oreo Cookies Bars
for those who cant find the pudding mix, i bought a packet of dunan hines frosting creations flavor mix (its a small .10 oz packet you mix in vanilla frosting to give it a kick) i used it in place of the jello and mine came out great! it gives it a really dark colouring though, because its ginger! but it tastes delicious. I looked at 6 different places for the pudding mix and while i couldn’t find that anywhere i found the frosting mix at 4 of the 6 places next to the cake frosting.
Good to know thanks Shey!!!
