Pumpkin Pie Krispie Treats are a festive addition to your Thanksgiving feast! These rice krispie pumpkin treats are a deliciously spiced with pumpkin flavor we all love!
Prep: Start by spraying the pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Pie crust: In a large mixing bowl, add the marshmallows and butter for the crust layer. Then, place it in the microwave for 1.5 minutes or until the marshmallows puff up.
Remove from the microwave and stir well until the butter has fully melted. Add the rice krispie cereal and stir to gently fold together until the cereal is fully coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it out and lightly pressing it up the sides of the pan. Flatten the cereal to the bottom and up the sides until it’s nice and even. (You can use a spoon or the bottom of a glass for this- just spray with non-stick spray first!)
Pumpkin layer: For the pumpkin layer of this treat, add the marshmallows and butter to a large mixing bowl. Microwave it for 1:30 or until the marshmallows have puffed up. Stir until the butter has all melted.
Then, add in the pumpkin spice and orange dye, mixing until no color streaks appear.
Add in the cereal and stir gently until the cereal is fully coated.
Transfer the mixture onto the top of the crust and flatten it nice and tight onto the crust. Be sure to make it a little lower than the top of the crust.
After that, cover the dish and let sit for about 2 hours or until set. Slice into equal slices, dollop each slice with whipped cream, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
