Instructions:
- Prepare the Banana Pudding Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the banana pudding mix with 2 tablespoons of milk and stir until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt the Marshmallows:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

- Spread the Mixture:
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Press the Rice Krispies mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Use a greased spatula or wax paper to press it down without sticking.
- Top with Vanilla Wafers (Optional):
- Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers on top of the Rice Krispie treats while they’re still warm. You can also drizzle melted white chocolate chips on top if you’d like.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes to 1 hour). Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- If you prefer a stronger banana flavor, you can add a few drops of banana extract to the marshmallow mixture.
- For an extra treat, you can fold in sliced bananas before pressing the mixture into the dish (just be aware that bananas may make the treats softer and more perishable).
Enjoy your Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats!
