Instructions:

1. Make the Rice Krispie Layer (5 minutes):
   • In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
   • Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
   • Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the Rice Krispie cereal.

2. Press the Rice Krispie Layer (2 minutes):
   • Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
   • Press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the prepared pan. You can use a spatula or wax paper to help spread and compact the mixture.
   • Let the Rice Krispie layer cool and set completely at room temperature.
3. Prepare the Banana Pudding Layer (3 minutes):

   • Gently fold the sliced bananas into the pudding mixture.
4. Assemble and Chill (2 hours):
   • Once the Rice Krispie layer is set, spread the banana pudding mixture evenly over the top.
   • Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding layer is firm. Ideally, chill for 2 hours for the best texture.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
   • Cut the Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats into squares for serving.
   • If desired, top each square with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
