Description
These Amazing Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats combine the nostalgic crunch of Rice Krispie treats with the creamy goodness of banana pudding, making them a delightful and quick dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package instant banana pudding mix
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 to 2 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Start by lining a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will help you lift out the treats easily once they’ve set. Set it aside.
- Microwave the Butter and Marshmallows: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of butter and 6 cups of mini marshmallows. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. If the marshmallows aren’t fully melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Add Pudding Mix: Once melted, stir in the instant banana pudding mix until well combined. The mixture will thicken slightly, and the banana scent will fill your kitchen!
- Incorporate Rice Krispies: Gradually fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. You want to ensure all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Add Bananas: Gently fold in 1 to 2 ripe bananas, sliced. Be careful not to mash them too much; you want some chunks for that fresh banana flavor.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, press it down evenly.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, pop them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Cut and Serve: Cut into squares or rectangles and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute butter with coconut oil. You can also use gluten-free Rice Krispies or vegan marshmallows to accommodate different diets.
