🍌 Banana Pudding Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients:

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

• 1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana cream pudding mix (dry)

• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (plus more for greasing)

• 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies (Nilla Wafers work great)

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or melted white chocolate (optional, for drizzle)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prep the Pan
   Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Melt the Marshmallows
   In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
   Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.

3. Add Flavor
   Remove the pan from heat. Quickly stir in the dry banana pudding mix, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.

4. Mix in Cereal
   Add the Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until everything is well-coated.

5. Add Crunch
   Gently fold in most of the crushed vanilla wafers (reserve a few for topping).

6. Transfer to Pan
   Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. (Use wax paper or lightly buttered hands to avoid sticking.)

7. Finish It Off
   Sprinkle reserved vanilla wafer crumbs on top. Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate.

8. Cool & Slice
   Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares.

Optional Add-Ins:

• Sliced dried bananas or banana chips (for extra banana punch)

• Marshmallow bits for texture

• A layer of vanilla pudding or whipped topping if you’re serving it fresh (but this makes them more like a no-bake dessert than portable bars)
