For the Banana Pudding Layer:

• Instant Banana Pudding Mix: 1 package (3.4 ounces)

Instructions

Prepare the Rice Krispie Layer (5 minutes):

1. Melt Butter: In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
2. Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
3. Mix Cereal: Remove the pot from the heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Use a spatula or wax paper to combine the cereal and marshmallow mixture thoroughly.
4. Press Mixture: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or butter. Spread the Rice Krispie mixture evenly in the dish, pressing it down with a spatula or wax paper.
5. Cool: Let the Rice Krispie layer cool and harden completely at room temperature.

Prepare the Banana Pudding Layer (3 minutes):

1. Mix Pudding: In a bowl, combine the instant banana pudding mix with cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
2. Add Bananas: Gently fold in the sliced bananas.

Assemble and Chill (2 hours):

1. Layer Pudding: Once the Rice Krispie layer has set, evenly spread the banana pudding mixture on top.
2. Chill: Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding layer is firm. For best results, chill for 2 hours.
