Krispy Crust
- 3 cups rice krispie cereal
- 7 oz marshmallows (a little over 1/3 bag)
- 2 Tbsp butter (melted)
Krispy Pie Center
- 4 cups cocoa krispie cereal or other chocolate flavored puff rice cereal
- 9 oz marshmallows (a little under 2/3 of the bag)
- 3 tbsp butter (melted)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup pecans toasted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Step 1: Toast the Pecans
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Spread the pecans on a cookie sheet and toast them for 7-10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Crust
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 tbsp melted butter and 7 oz marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
In a large bowl, add 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir to combine.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a greased pie pan to form the crust. Use a greased spatula to smooth it out. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Pie Center
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 tbsp melted butter, 9 oz marshmallows, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until melted and smooth.
Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract, creating a rich chocolate marshmallow mixture.
In a large bowl, mix 4 cups Cocoa Rice Krispies cereal with the toasted pecans.
Pour the chocolate marshmallow mixture over the cereal and pecans, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie and Serve
Spread the chocolate pecan mixture over the prepared Rice Krispies crust, using a greased spatula to press it down evenly into the pie pan.
Allow the pie to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes or until firm.
Slice and enjoy this decadent Rice Krispie Treat Pecan Pie!
