Ingredients

⅓ cup unsalted butter 2.6 oz, 75g
10 oz mini marshmallows 285g
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
6 cups rice krispies cereal 5.5oz, 155g, all crisped rice cereal works well
¼ teaspoon orange gel food coloring

Garnish

whipped topping optional
fall sprinkles

Instructions

Lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Melt the butter and mini marshmallows together in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pumpkin pie spice. Add the Rice Krispie cereal and stir until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer about 2 cups of the cereal mixture to the prepared pie plate and gently press it around the outer edge to form a 1½-inch-wide crust, leaving the center empty. Stir the orange food coloring into the remaining cereal mixture until evenly colored.
Spoon the orange Rice Krispie mixture into the center of the pie, gently pressing it against the crust. Let the pie cool and set for about 30 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving with whipped topping and sprinkles, if desired.

Notes

Melt & Mix Carefully: Cook the butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, then work quickly once the cereal is added so the mixture stays soft and easy to shape.
Keep It From Sticking: Lightly spray your hands, spatula, or knife with nonstick cooking spray, or dampen your hands with water for easier pressing and slicing.
Perfect Texture: Gently press the cereal into the pan without packing it tightly to keep every bite soft and chewy.
Easy Ingredient Swaps: Large marshmallows and store-brand crisp rice cereal work just as well; simply allow extra melting time for larger marshmallows.
Decorate Before Serving: Add whipped topping, sprinkles, caramel, or other garnishes just before serving for the freshest presentation.
