Ingredients
-
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
-
1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
-
3 cups mini marshmallows
-
1 tbsp butter
-
½ cup milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 ripe banana, mashed
-
½ cup whipped cream or Cool Whip (optional for topping)
-
Sliced bananas (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats later.
2️⃣ Make the pudding mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows, banana pudding mix, and milk. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and mashed banana.
3️⃣ Combine with Rice Krispies: Immediately pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow-banana mixture. Stir gently until the cereal is fully coated and combined.
4️⃣ Press into the pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9×13-inch dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
5️⃣ Chill (optional): Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For extra firmness, you can place them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
6️⃣ Serve: Once the treats are set, slice into squares. Optionally, top with whipped cream or Cool Whip and garnish with sliced bananas for an extra touch of banana pudding goodness.
