In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal with the melted butter and sugar mixture. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
Press the Rice Krispies mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
While the base is chilling, let 1.5 quarts of vanilla ice cream soften slightly at room temperature until it is spreadable.
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the chilled Rice Krispies layer. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the ice cream is solid.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the frozen ice cream layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Return the dessert to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
To serve, remove the dessert from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
