Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 9-inch pie plate.
Place 1/2 cup chocolate syrup and chocolate chips in a medium microware-safe bowl. Microwave at medium (50%) for 45 seconds, or until hot; stire until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup or the chocolate syrup mixture; set aside. Add cereal to the remaining chocolate syrup mixture, stirring until well coated; let cool slightly.
Place the cereal mixture in the prepared pie place. Press it evenly, using the back of a spoon, onto the bottom and sides to form a crust. Place in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm.
Spread half of the vanilla icea cream in the crust. Spoon the reserved 1/4 cup chocolate syrup mixture over the layer. Spread half the chocolate ice cream over the sauce.
Top with alternating scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Cover and return to the freezer until serving time. Drizzle with additional syrup just before serving.
