RICE KRISPIES PUMPKIN PIE AND PECAN PIE RECIPES

 

 

This quick dessert is fun to make with your kids. This year I wanted to make something different for our Thanksgiving dessert. It has been a while since I had made a homemade dessert dish for Thanksgiving, so I created two simple and fun dishes to make with Aliana every year. What better way to mix two of my favorite desserts into one big Rice Krispies treats. Each recipe takes 10 minutes to make and then you and your family will enjoy delicious treats that tastes very similar if not better than the real pie.
