I’ve been making these for years and people lose their mind over them every time. They seem like a special homemade treat
Prepare the Rice Krispie Layer (5 minutes)
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal.
- Using a spatula or wax paper on your hands, gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until well combined.
Press the Rice Krispie Layer (2 minutes)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Evenly press the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared dish using a spatula or wax paper to help spread and compact the mixture.
- Allow the Rice Krispie layer to cool and set completely at room temperature.
Prepare the Banana Pudding Layer (3 minutes)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
- Gently fold in the sliced bananas.
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. For the best texture, chill for 2 hours.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Cut the Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats into squares for serving.
- Optionally, top each square with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
