Base Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Butter, melted
- 1 (10 oz) bag Marshmallows
- 1 (3.4 oz) box Instant Banana Pudding Mix
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Optional Topping
- Crushed Nilla Wafers, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick spray and set it aside to prevent sticking once the mixture is ready.
- Melt Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until fully liquid.
- Add Marshmallows: Pour the entire 10-ounce bag of marshmallows into the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Microwave Marshmallow Mixture: Microwave the mixture for 45 seconds, then remove and stir thoroughly. Return to the microwave and heat for an additional 45 seconds to ensure the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Add Banana Pudding Mix: Stir in the entire box of instant banana pudding mix until fully incorporated into the melted marshmallow mixture, creating a creamy banana-flavored base.
- Mix in Rice Krispies: Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the bowl and stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow-banana pudding mixture.
- Press Into Pan: Evenly distribute and firmly press the mixture into the prepared 9 x 13 inch pan to create an even layer.
- Add Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle crushed Nilla Wafers over the top of the treats for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For easier pressing, lightly spray your hands with non-stick spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- You can replace the Nilla Wafers topping with sliced bananas for extra banana flavor, but add just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- Microwave times may vary based on your appliance; melt marshmallows until smooth and fully melted.
