- 1 (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) box instant banana pudding mix
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafer cookies
Complementary Ingredients:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Gently liquefy butter in a spacious saucepan over minimal heat, creating a smooth base for the dessert.
- Incorporate marshmallows into the melted butter, stirring continuously until they transform into a uniform, glossy mixture.
- Remove the pan from heat and swiftly blend banana pudding mix and vanilla extract, ensuring complete integration of flavors.
- Carefully fold Rice Krispies, additional mini marshmallows, and crumbled vanilla wafer cookies into the marshmallow blend, distributing ingredients evenly.
- Transfer the combined mixture into a prepared 9×13-inch pan, using a spatula to compress and level the surface with consistent pressure.
- Allow the dessert to settle and cool at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, enabling the ingredients to set firmly.

- Once completely cooled, slice into uniform squares using a sharp knife for clean, precise cuts.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Heat butter and marshmallows gently to prevent burning and ensure smooth, creamy texture.
- Whisk banana pudding mix thoroughly to eliminate lumps and distribute flavor evenly throughout the treats.
- Crush vanilla wafers coarsely to maintain texture and provide delightful crunch in every bite.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep Rice Krispies treats soft and fresh.
