Ingredients

For the Rice Krispie Layer:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 package (10 oz) small marshmallows

For the Banana Pudding Layer:

• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk

Instructions

Prepare the Rice Krispie Layer (5 minutes)

1. In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
2. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Using a spatula or wax paper, press the Rice Krispie mixture firmly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
5. Allow the Rice Krispie layer to cool and set at room temperature.

Prepare the Banana Pudding Layer (3 minutes)

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the instant banana pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
2. Gently fold in the sliced bananas.

Assemble and Chill (2 hours)

1. Once the Rice Krispie layer is fully cooled, spread the banana pudding mixture evenly over the top.
2. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding layer is set. For best results, chill for 2 hours.
