Ingredients

  • 3 TBL unsalted butter

  • 6 C Rice Krispies cereal

  • 4 C mini marshmallows

  • orange food coloring

  • Add about 20% of the melted marshmallow into the bowl with 2 cuts of cereal in it, and mix in.

  • Spray the pie pan and add the non colored marshmallow Rice Krispie mix. Press in and form to the pie dish making sure it is evenly dispersed so there is a cavity in the middle to add the orange mixture.

  • Add the orange food coloring to the remaining marshmallow mixture.  Then combine the marshmallow mixture with the Rice Krispies in the remaining bowl.

  • Add the now orange Rice Krispies into the pie dish and spread out evenly. Let rest for a few hours to firm up.
