Kids of all ages will love this Thanksgiving dessert recipe for Harvest Ooey Gooey bars with fun colors, yummy flavors and lots of oozing, creamy goodness.
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil, egg, and orange food coloring.
Press into a greased 9-inch springform pan.
Bake at 350˚F for 10-13 minutes.
Marshmallow Cream Layer
Remove cake mix cookie layer from the oven and immediately top with the marshmallow cream.
As the marshmallow cream warms, it will start to spread on its own.
Use a greased spatula to carefully spread it out over the cake mix crust, if it doesn't spread out enough on its own.
Chocolate Crispy Treats Layer
In a large bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Add mini marshmallows and stir to coat. Microwave for 45 seconds and stir until smooth. (If the marshmallows aren’t completely melted, microwave for an additional 15 seconds.)
Mix in chocolate crispy rice cereal and gently stir until well coated.
Drop by large spoonfuls over the marshmallow cream layer and carefully spread out evenly. (I put my hand in plastic baggie with a little butter on it and gently spread it out.)
Firmly press the top layer down into the marshmallow cream to really hold things together.
