• 1 cup crispy rice cereal
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal, butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
