These Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies Treats feature a buttery vanilla crust and a pumpkin-spiced orange filling, all pressed into a round pan. After cooling, they're sliced like pie and topped with whipped cream for a fun Halloween dessert.

Directions

Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1½ tablespoons butter. Add 2 cups marshmallows and stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat, stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla, then fold in 3 cups Rice Krispies until well coated.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly against the inside edge to form a 1-inch crust. Let cool while you make the filling.

In another medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2½ tablespoons butter with 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Add 3 cups marshmallows and stir constantly until melted. Stir in 2 teaspoons orange food coloring, then fold in 4 cups Rice Krispies until well coated.

Press the filling firmly inside the crust border, compacting it down. Let cool completely in the pan. Once cool, place a serving plate on top and invert the pan. Slice into wedges and top with whipped cream if desired.
