Serves 8-10

Instructions:

1. Spread the puree on a cheesecloth or between several paper towels, and let it sit for approximately 45 minutes to remove the excess moisture from the pumpkin.
2. Melt the butter in a large pan set on medium-low heat, and add the marshmallows, stirring them as they melt.
3. Scoop out ½ cup of melted marshmallow, and pour into a mixing bowl. Add 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, and stir to combine. Set aside.
4. Combine the reserved pumpkin puree and spices with the remaining marshmallow mixture. Add the remaining 4 cups cereal, and mix well.
5. Cover the pie pan with cooking spray, and press the plain marshmallow-cereal mixture along the outer edges to create the pie crust. Then fill the center with the pumpkin-flavored mixture, and press until smooth to create the pie filling. Set aside to cool before cutting out pie slices.
