A delightful combination of creamy banana pudding and crunchy Rice Krispie treats, perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package banana pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the banana pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping and set aside in the fridge to chill.
  2. Grease your 9Γ—13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a light coat of butter. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until everything is smooth and melted. This should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture. Be sure to mix quickly before the mixture starts to cool.
  5. Pour half of the Rice Krispie mixture into your greased baking dish and press it down firmly using your greased spatula or hands.
  6. Remove the chilled banana pudding from the fridge and spread it evenly on top of the Rice Krispie layer.
  7. Cover the banana pudding layer with the remaining Rice Krispie mixture, pressing it down gently to create an even surface.
  8. Let the treats set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or pop them in the fridge for faster setting.
  9. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy!
