Why I Love This Recipe
There’s just something nostalgic and comforting about banana cream pie. This recipe takes that classic flavor and gives it a playful spin, similar to Banana Pudding or Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, but in a crunchy, snackable form.
Plus, it’s incredibly easy—no oven required, just a stovetop and a sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 (3 oz) box banana cream pudding mix
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Measure and Prep
Pour the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
2. Melt and Mix
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, white chocolate chips, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until melted and smooth.
3. Add Banana Flavor
Whisk in the banana cream pudding mix until fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
4. Coat the Cereal
Pour half the banana cream mixture over the Chex and toss gently. Add the rest of the mixture and continue tossing until all pieces are evenly coated.
5. Powder and Toss
Sprinkle in ½ cup of powdered sugar, stirring after each addition. Repeat with the rest of the powdered sugar until the mix is fully coated and resembles snow-dusted cereal.
6. Cool and Serve
Spread onto wax paper and let cool for about 10 minutes. Give it a final stir and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Work in batches when coating and sugaring the cereal—it helps with even coverage.
- Use a large bowl so you can toss everything without making a mess.
- Don’t overheat your chocolate mix. Low and slow keeps it smooth!
