Main 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside to ensure easy removal of the treats later.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter thoroughly.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Pour the entire 10 oz bag of marshmallows into the melted butter and stir to coat the marshmallows.
  4. Microwave and Stir (First Time): Heat the mixture in the microwave for 45 seconds, then carefully remove and stir to begin melting the marshmallows evenly.
  5. Microwave and Stir (Second Time): Return the bowl to the microwave for another 45 seconds, then remove and stir again until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  6. Add Banana Pudding Mix: Stir in the full 3.4 oz box of instant banana pudding mix into the melted marshmallow mixture until fully combined, infusing the mixture with rich banana flavor.
  7. Combine with Cereal: Quickly add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow-banana pudding mixture and gently fold together until all cereal is evenly coated.
  8. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly and pressing firmly to pack the treats tightly.
  9. Optional Topping: Sprinkle crushed Nilla Wafers evenly over the top if desired for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure butter and marshmallow mixture is hot and sticky for best binding results.
  • Use fresh Rice Krispies for optimal crunch.
  • Allow treats to cool completely before cutting to maintain structure.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Optionally, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor depth.
