Mock Fried Ice Cream

1 cube butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 1/2 cups rice crispies

1 cup coconut

1 cup nuts (I recommend chopped pecans)

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream (softened)

Melt butter and brown sugar in sauce pan.  Add cereal, coconut and nuts.  Press into bottom of 9 x 13 pan (set aside 1 1/2 cups of mixture).  Spoon (and spread) ice cream on top of crust and sprinkle remaining crust on top.  Freeze and cut into squares.
