Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine peanut butter and honey in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds, stirring until smooth and melted.
  2. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Press the cereal mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan or pie dish to form a crust.
  4. Prepare the butterscotch pudding mix according to the package directions, ensuring it is set and thick.
  5. Gently fold 1 cup of thawed fat-free whipped topping into the prepared pudding until smooth and combined.
  6. Spoon the pudding mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  7. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  8. Let the pie stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing to soften slightly.
  9. Top each serving with the remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and extra Rice Krispies if desired.
