This dessert is the perfect fusion of two beloved treats: creamy banana pudding and classic Rice Krispies squares. With layers of soft marshmallow cereal, smooth banana pudding, fresh banana slices, and whipped cream, this easy no-bake recipe delivers a nostalgic bite with a modern twist.
It’s light, sweet, and ideal for potlucks, picnics, or quick family desserts.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter

Directions
1. Make the Cereal Base
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
Let cool completely before adding the next layer.

Spread a smooth layer of whipped cream over the bananas.
Just before serving, drizzle with a little honey for extra sweetness.
