"My girl friend sent me this recipe after I had it at a party she hosted. Her daughter's school created a cook book as a fundraiser; which was a collection of family favorites - and this was one of them. And, even though I'm not much of a sweet eater ... this was really delicious. The rice cereal really makes a nice crust and the fudge topping is just delicious."

Step 1

Crust ... In a large pot, add the corn syrup, butter, and brown sugar; bring to a light boil and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the rice cereal, and mix to combine. Then, press into a buttered 9" pie plate. I prefer a glass plate if possible. Make sure to press on the bottom on the pie plate and up the sides. TIP: I lightly butter my hands and use the palm of my hand to press down the crust - the butter prevents sticking. You can also use the bottom of a glass to press down the crust.

Step 2

Peanut Butter Fudge ... Add the fudge sauce to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds on medium low - you want to lightly warm up the fudge. Remove from the microwave and add the peanut butter, corn syrup, and mix well. Reserve 1/3 cup for the topping, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Pour the rest over the bottom and spread it over the crust evenly, and sprinkle with the peanuts.

Step 3

Ice Cream ... Fill the pie crust with the softened ice cream and smooth out the top using a spatula; and, finish with the peanuts. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm; at least 8 hours.

Step 4

Serve ... Make sure to take the pie out of the freezer and let it set 5 minutes before serving. In the meantime, heat the remaining 1/3 cup peanut butter/fudge topping in the microwave, just until warm. Drizzle the warm sauce over the pie; then, slice and garnish with a dollop of whipped topping if you like. ENJOY!
