Peanut Butter Ice Cream Squares

An_Net's Note:

Sweetened peanut butter coats crisp cereal and forms the crust for this easy four ingredient ice cream dessert recipe. Corn Syrup is available in health food stores in Australia or you can substitute for honey in this recipe. Liquid Glucose could also be used but it is sweeter than corn syrup. Preparation time does not include cooling/freezing time of approx 2hrs.

• Total Time: 15 mins

My boys' birthdays are 6 days apart (and 8 years LOL) and we get tired of cake that close together. So for my youngest, I made this instead. I followed the recipe as written and everyone enjoyed it. It was easy to put together and was tasty. My son thanks you for a nice "different" birthday cake :)
