Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups crushed Corn Flakes cereal
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter
  • 1 1.75 quart container Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 1 8 ounce container Cool Whip
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Take the vanilla ice cream out of your freezer and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or so, to soften.
  • Melt butter in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the crushed corn flakes, sugar and cinnamon.(I mix my sugar and cinnamon before hand) Stir to combine. Fry mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until cereal is golden-brown. *Be careful not to burn. It may take less than 5 minutes. Allow corn flake mixture to cool completely.
  • Take a 9 x 13 baking dish and spread 1/2 the corn flakes mixture into the bottom of pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the softened vanilla ice cream and cool whip. Using a spatula or large spoon, stir and mix well to combine. Spread ice cream mixture over the top of the corn flake mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  • Spread the remaining corn flake mixture evenly over the ice cream. Drizzle the honey over the top. Cover pan, and place in freezer. Freeze ice cream for at least 5 hours, or overnight.
  • Cut into squares and serve with drizzles of chocolate syrup and caramel sauce. Remember your fluffy friend whip cream and the cherry on top! Enjoy!
