Description
Banana pudding rice krispies are a no-bake dessert combining crispy cereal, banana cream pudding mix, marshmallows, and crushed vanilla wafers for a nostalgic, flavorful treat that’s quick to make and fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 oz (300 g) mini marshmallows
- 1 box (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant banana cream pudding mix, dry
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- Non-stick spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter and set aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the dry banana cream pudding mix until fully incorporated.
- Remove the pot from heat and fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and crushed vanilla wafers. Stir until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down gently and evenly using a spatula or greased hands.
- If using, sprinkle white chocolate chips and extra crushed vanilla wafers on top while warm. Press lightly to adhere.
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Add 1/2 teaspoon banana extract for extra banana flavor.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top after cooling for added sweetness.
- Mix in chopped nuts or extra crushed wafers for more crunch.
- Grease the knife or clean between cuts for cleaner slices.
- Do not overheat the marshmallows to keep the treats soft.
