Crispy Chocolate Ice Cream Mud Pie

Butter 9-inch pie plate.

Place 1/2 cup chocolate syrup and chocolate chips in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at Medium (50%) 45 seconds or until hot; stir until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup chocolate syrup mixture; set aside. Add cereal to remaining chocolate syrup mixture, stirring until well coated; cool slightly.
