Shape the circles:

  • Spray two 9-inch pie pans with nonstick spray. Divide the mixture between the two pans and press flat with oiled hands or the bottom of a measuring cup.

  • Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.

Melt the candy melts:

  • In separate bowls, melt the yellow and orange candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  • If the melted candy is too thick, stir in 1 tsp of vegetable oil until smooth.

Cut and dip:

  • Turn the Rice Krispie circles out of the pans and place on parchment paper. Cut each circle into 6 wedges, like slicing a cake.

  • Customize the colors: Want to mix it up? Try white and purple for a spooky Halloween twist.
  • Adjust the melts: If the candy melts are already smooth, skip the oil. Only add oil if they’re thick after melting.
  • Make it kid-friendly: Let kids help with the dipping step (just make sure the candy melts aren’t too hot!)
