Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice Krispie Layer (5 minutes):
   • In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
   • Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
   • Remove the pot from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
   • Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish using a spatula or wax paper to press it down firmly.
   • Allow the Rice Krispie layer to cool and harden at room temperature.
2. Make the Banana Pudding Layer (3 minutes):
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until it thickens.
   • Gently fold in the sliced bananas.
3. Assemble and Chill (2 hours):
   • Once the Rice Krispie layer has fully cooled and hardened, evenly spread the banana pudding mixture on top.
   • If desired, top with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
   • Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally 2 hours, until the pudding layer is set.
