Description

Banana Pudding Rice Krispies treats combine the natural sweetness and creaminess of ripe bananas with the classic crunch of Rice Krispies cereal for a nostalgic yet fresh dessert. This easy, no-bake recipe features a creamy banana pudding base mixed with melted marshmallows and butter, offering a perfect balance of rich and crispy textures that kids and adults alike will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Pudding Mixture

  • 2 ripe bananas (yellow with brown spots)
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Marshmallow Mixture

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows

Cereal

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the vanilla instant pudding mix and optional vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a creamy banana base that will infuse flavor throughout the treats.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until melted into a smooth, gooey mixture. Keep the heat low to prevent burning and ensure a silky texture.
  3. Combine Pudding Mix and Cereal: Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat. Quickly stir in the banana pudding mixture until evenly blended. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure every piece is coated with the creamy, sticky mixture.
  4. Press into Pan and Chill: Transfer the mixture to a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch pan. Press down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Melt marshmallows slowly over low heat to avoid burning and get a smoother texture.
  • Press mixture firmly into the pan to help treats hold their shape when cut.
  • Chill treats before slicing to make cutting cleaner and prevent crumbling.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
