4. Remove from heat and stir in the canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
5. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the mixture, stirring gently until all the cereal is evenly coated.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the pan.
7. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
8. If using, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled treats, then sprinkle with additional pumpkin spice and chopped nuts.
9. Cut the treats into squares or rectangles and serve.
