02 - 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
03 - 5 cups mini marshmallows (for melting)
04 - 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (for mixing in)

07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings

08 - Crushed vanilla wafers for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Follow package directions to prepare the banana pudding. Allow it to set until thick and firm.
02 - In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until completely liquified.
03 - Add 5 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously until fully melted and mixture is smooth.
04 - Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and prepared banana pudding until fully incorporated.
05 - Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, remaining 1½ cups of mini marshmallows, and crushed vanilla wafers. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
06 - Transfer mixture to a parchment-lined baking dish. Press gently into an even layer, taking care not to compact the mixture too firmly.
07 - Spread a thin layer of marshmallow fluff over the top and sprinkle with additional crushed vanilla wafers.
08 - Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate decoratively over the top of the treats.
09 - Allow treats to cool completely and set firm before cutting into squares and serving.

# Notes:

01 - These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
02 - For clean cutting, lightly coat your knife with cooking spray between slices.
