FAQs

Why are my Rice Crispy Treats hard?

If your treats turn out hard, the marshmallows were overheated. Melt them over low heat and stir continuously to keep that soft, gooey texture.

Can I use cooked banana pudding instead of instant?

Instant banana pudding works best because it keeps the bars firm. Cooked pudding adds too much moisture, making the Rice Crispy Treats Recipe soggy and sticky.

How long can I store Banana Pudding Rice Krispie Treats?

They last up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, refrigerate them, but let them rest for 10 minutes before eating to regain that soft texture.
