Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the base
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal Provides the base crunch; other cereals like Fruit Loops can add a fun twist.
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows Adds gooey sweetness; larger marshmallows can be used, adjust quantity.
  • 3 tablespoons butter Richness galore; can substitute with vegan margarine.
For the filling
  • 1 package instant banana cream pudding mix The heart of the flavor; vanilla pudding can be used for a different twist.
  • 2 cups milk Helps to create a luscious filling; non-dairy alternatives are great substitutes.
  • 1 cup whipped cream For that creamy texture; cool whip or homemade whipped cream can work.
For garnish
  • 1 cup sliced bananas Freshness completes the dish; opt for strawberries if preferred.
  • optional crushed graham crackers For pie crust crunch; crushed cookies can also add great flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until melted.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies until coated.
  4. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan and let it cool.
Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thick.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
  3. Spread the banana cream mixture over the cooled Rice Krispie treats.
  4. Top with sliced bananas and crushed graham crackers if desired.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Add vanilla extract to the pudding mix for extra flavor. Store leftovers for up to 3 days, adding banana slices just before serving to prevent browning. Base can be frozen without banana component for up to a month.
