Ingredients

1 pkt (12 oz.) Chocolate Chips

2/3 cup Smooth Peanut Butter

6 cups Crispy Rice Cereal

1 gal Vanilla Ice Cream

Freshly Whipped Creme for garnish, (optional)

Fresh Strawberries for garnish, (optional)

Preparation

Today's recipe is one of those concoctions that you can review at a glance and know that it is going to make a scrumptious dessert. We've prepared today's recipe with both chocolate and vanilla ice creams. Either and both combined as a marble ice cream cake are fantastic.

All!

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter until creamy and smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted mixture over the cereal and combine. Spread the chocolate cereal on a cookie sheet and cool. When firm, break up the cereal mixture into small pieces.

Soften the ice cream and fold in all but 1 cup of the cereal mixture.

Spread the soft ice cream into a 10-inch springform pan.

Use remaining cereal mixture to make decorative topping, then freeze until hard. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired. Release the side of the springform pan, slice, and serve.
