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!
