Ingredients

For the Rice Krispie Layer:

• Butter: 6 tablespoons (unsalted)
• Marshmallows: 1 package (10 ounces) of mini marshmallows
• Rice Krispies Cereal: 6 cups

For the Banana Pudding Layer:

• Instant Banana Pudding Mix: 1 package (3.4 ounces)
• Cold Milk: 2 cups
• Banana Slices: 1 cup

Optional Topping:

• Whipped Cream: For garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rice Krispie Layer

1. Melt Butter: In a large pot over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
2. Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and smooth.
3. Mix in Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Press into Pan: Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil or butter. Spread the Rice Krispie mixture evenly in the pan, pressing it down with a spoon or wax paper to create a firm layer. Let it cool and set completely at room temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the Banana Pudding Layer

1. Mix Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant banana pudding mix for about 2 minutes, until it thickens.
2. Add Bananas: Gently fold in the banana slices into the pudding mixture.

Step 3: Assemble and Chill

1. Layer Pudding: Once the Rice Krispie layer has set, spread the banana pudding mixture evenly on top of it.
2. Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding layer is set. For best results, let it chill for 2 hours.

Step 4: Serve

1. Cut and Garnish: Before serving, cut the Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats into squares. Optionally, top each square with a dollop of whipped cream.
