Directions
Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Combine with Pudding and Cereal: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and thickened banana pudding. Mix well until fully combined. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
Add Crushed Vanilla Wafers: Gently fold in the crushed vanilla wafers for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula to press it down evenly and firmly.
Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
Slice and Serve: Once set, cut into squares and garnish with sliced bananas if desired. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations

Swap the Cereal: For a fun twist, try using Cocoa Krispies or Fruity Pebbles instead of Rice Krispies.
Add Mix-Ins: Consider mixing in white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
Use Fresh Bananas: If you’re a fan of fresh bananas, slice some up and layer them on top of the treats before serving.
Vegan Version: Use dairy-free butter, marshmallows, and milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (which we doubt!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Food and Drink Pairings
These Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. For a refreshing twist, serve them with a banana milkshake or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
