Ingredient Quantity
Unsalted Butter 4 tablespoons
Mini Marshmallows 1 package (10 oz)
Rice Krispies Cereal 6 cups

For the Banana Pudding Layer:

Ingredient Quantity
Instant Banana Pudding Mix 1 package (3.4 oz)
Cold Milk 2 cups
Sliced Bananas 1 cup

For Topping (Optional):

  • Whipped Cream

Instructions:

  1. Make the Rice Krispie Layer (5 minutes):

    • In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
    • Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
    • Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the Rice Krispie cereal.
    • Using a spatula or wax paper on your hands, gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Press the Rice Krispie Layer (2 minutes):

    • Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
    • Press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the prepared pan. You can use a spatula or wax paper to help spread and compact the mixture.
    • Let the Rice Krispie layer cool and set completely at room temperature.
  3. Prepare the Banana Pudding Layer (3 minutes):

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
    • Gently fold the sliced bananas into the pudding mixture.
  4. Assemble and Chill (2 hours):

    • Once the Rice Krispie layer is set, spread the banana pudding mixture evenly over the top.
    • Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding layer is firm. Ideally, chill for 2 hours for the best texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy!

    • Cut the Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats into squares for serving.
    • If desired, top each square with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
