  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package banana pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows (or approx. 40 regular marshmallows)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1–2 sliced ripe bananas (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding base: Start by mixing the banana pudding mix with cold milk. Whisk thoroughly until it thickens slightly, creating that creamy banana goodness that forms the dessert’s soul.
  2. Melt the marshmallows and butter: In a large pot, melt butter over low heat and add marshmallows, stirring constantly until smooth and gooey. This sticky base will ensure your treats hold together perfectly.
  3. Combine with Rice Krispies: Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, folding gently to coat every crisp perfectly with that sweet, buttery layer.
  4. Incorporate banana pudding: Pour in your prepared banana pudding, folding it gently into the cereal mixture to spread the creamy flavor evenly throughout without breaking the crisp texture.
  5. Add fresh banana slices (optional): For an extra burst of authentic banana flavor and freshness, gently fold in thinly sliced bananas at this stage.
  6. Press and cool: Transfer the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined pan, pressing down lightly to even the top. Allow the treat to cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh marshmallows for smoother texture as they melt more evenly.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the cereal crispy and prevent mushiness.
  • Add pudding last to keep treats creamy without sogginess.
  • Cool completely to allow the treats to firm up for easy cutting and handling.
  • Use ripe bananas for best flavor but avoid overripe to prevent mushy texture.
