Ingredients
- 24 ounces mini marshmallows
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 8 ounces mini marshmallow
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, optional
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- orange gel food coloring
-
To make these simple pumpkin pie rice Krispie treats, start by generously greasing a muffin tin. Set it aside.
-
Next, you’ll want to make the “crust.” Place a large pot of medium heat and add the “crust” portion of marshmallows and butter.
-
Continuously stir until the marshmallows and butter are both melted and well combined.
-
Once melted, remove the pot from the heat and quickly add the “crust” portion of Rice Krispies. Mix well to combine and coat the cereal.
-
Use a cookie scoop to scoop the mixture into each muffin tin cavity.
-
Spray the bottom of a ¼ cup measuring cup or any other small cup with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Press the bottom of the cup into each cavity to make an indent similar to that of a pie crust. Set the pan aside.
-
Next, you’ll make the “pie filling” portion by melting the butter, mini marshmallows, and pumpkin pie spice in a large pot. Stir until melted and combined.
-
Turn off the heat and add in orange food coloring until you reach a color that resembles pumpkin pie.
-
Add in the Rice Krispies and stir until well combined.
-
Use the cookie scoop to scoop a portion of the “filling” into each prepared crust.
-
Use your fingers to press the filling into the crust so it’s firmly packed and flat
-
Allow the pumpkin pie Rice Krispy treats to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
-
Top with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice and enjoy!
