  1. Prepare the Crust: Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 2 cups of marshmallows and stir until melted, about 2–3 minutes. Mix in a splash of vanilla extract and fold in 3 cups of Rice Krispies. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan and cool.
  2. Make the Filling: Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter with 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice in the same saucepan. Stir in 3 cups of marshmallows until melted, about 2–3 minutes. Optionally, mix in orange food coloring, then fold in 4 cups of Rice Krispies and press into the crust layer.
  3. Serve: Allow to cool in the pan for 30–45 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate, cut into wedges using a sharp knife dipped in hot water, and garnish with whipped cream if desired.
