Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispies
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup banana pudding mix
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup Cool Whip (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana Mixture: In a mixing bowl, mash two ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside to ensure you have a creamy base for the treat.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Mix in the Marshmallows: Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and combined with the butter.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the banana pudding mix and mashed bananas. Stir until well mixed.
- Add Rice Krispies: Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies until they are fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Pack into a Pan: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture into an even layer.
- Let Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until set.
- Cut & Serve: Once the treats are firm, cut them into squares. Serve plain or with a dollop of Cool Whip on top for extra indulgence.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for better flavor. Don’t overheat the marshmallows to avoid hardening. Ensure to press the mixture firmly into the pan.
