Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana pudding mix
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers (Nilla Wafers)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, fresh banana slices, extra crushed wafers
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the banana pudding mix until fully combined.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal and crushed vanilla wafers until evenly coated.
- Press mixture into the prepared baking dish using a buttered spatula or wax paper. Don’t press too firmly.
- Let cool for 30 minutes, then cut into squares.
- Optional: Top with whipped cream, banana slices, and extra wafers before serving.
Notes
- Don’t overheat the marshmallows—keep the heat low to avoid hard treats.
- For extra gooey bars, mix in a handful of mini marshmallows at the end (before pressing into the pan).
- Add toppings just before serving if using fresh bananas to prevent browning.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
