Rice Krispie Dessert

Since it was so darn HOT and HUMID earlier this week I decided to "revive" an old classic dessert my Grandma Barthel would make when I was a kid. It's so simple and yet so tasty. Easily one of the best dessert for a sultry summer day.

3 cups of Rice Krispies
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Coconut
1/2 cup chopped Walnuts
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 gallon softened Vanilla Ice Cream
Strawberries

Melt butter and then mix together all ingredients except ice cream. Grease a 9X13 pan and then spread half the mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then spoon the ice cream onto the rice krispie layer. You may need to use your fingers to spread the ice cream into a semi-even layer. Then sprinkle the remaining rice krispie layer over the ice cream. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. Use fresh strawberries to top the dessert. Hot fudge, butterscotch or carmel work nicely too.
