Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Grease a large baking pan (approximately 9x13 inches) with butter.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter. Add in one 12-ounce bag of marshmallows and ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat and fold in 5 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal, mixing gently until well coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking pan and press firmly into an even layer about 1 inch thick.
  5. Allow to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
  6. Cut the Rice Krispies into bars. Take two bars and place a scoop of slightly softened ice cream (about ½ cup) in the center of one bar, then press the second bar on top.
  7. Freeze the assembled sandwiches for at least 8 hours until completely set.
  8. Serve the sandwiches. Optionally, wrap each in wax paper for portability.
