Ingredients

• 4 cups Crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 cups Vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup Caramel sauce
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble gently.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Place the crispy rice cereal in a large bowl and pour the warm caramel mixture over the cereal. Stir until the cereal is fully coated.

Step 5

Press half of the caramel-coated cereal into the prepared baking dish to create an even layer. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press it down firmly.

Step 6

Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cereal layer.

Step 7

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the ice cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if using.

Step 8

Gently press the remaining half of the caramel-coated cereal on top of the ice cream to form the final layer.

Step 9

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

Step 10

Once ready to serve, let the dish sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
