Instructions
Pie Crust
- Make the rice krispie pie crust portion of this recipe first by melting the butter over low heat in a medium saucepan. Then whisk in the maple syrup until combined. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.
- Pour in the Rice Krispie Cereal and carefully fold in until completely coated.
- Spoon this mixture into the outside rim of a pie dish (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) and form a “crust” by pressing the rice krispie mixture into it. Set this aside to cool down a bit while you make the filling.
Pie Filling
- To make the pie filling, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Once combined, add the mini marshmallows and stir until melted. Then add the orange food coloring until you reach the desired color.
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies Cereal. Evenly pour the filling mixture into the center of the pie dish and press firmly into the crust to meld the two rice krispie layers together.
- Let the rice krispie pie fully cool before slicing and serving. You can even pop it into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before cutting.
Notes
Storage – Across the board, Rice Krispies Treats are always best when they are served fresh. However if you have leftover Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispie Treats, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 days, or in the freezer for 6 weeks. To defrost, just leave the treats out overnight before serving.
Watch Those Measurements – If you have too much butter, or too much pumpkin puree, it can cause problems in getting the treats to stick together. Make sure you double check your measurements, and drain off any excess fluid in your canned pumpkin.
Servings Size - While pie is shown sliced into six slices, they are large! This pie can easily be cut into 6, 8, 10 or 12 pieces, depending on your desired serving size.
