Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin pan with butter or cooking spray. Divide the Rice Krispies mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Using the back of a greased tablespoon or a round spoon, firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to create a well for the ice cream. Freeze for 1 hour, or until firm. Carefully remove the cups from the muffin pan, loosening the edges with a butter knife if necessary.
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly for 5 to 10 minutes. Scoop the ice cream into each Rice Krispies cup and gently smooth the tops if needed. Return the cups to the freezer until the ice cream is firm.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup evenly over each frozen ice cream cup. For a neater presentation, you can use a spoon or transfer the syrup to a piping bag or squeeze bottle.
Top each cup with whipped topping and finish with rainbow sprinkles. Add extra chocolate syrup if desired for an extra-special dessert.
Freeze the decorated cups for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the toppings are set and the ice cream is firm. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Shape sturdy bowls: Press the Rice Krispies mixture firmly into the muffin cups using the back of a lightly greased spoon or measuring cup to create strong edible dessert bowls that hold their shape.
Freeze between layers: Freeze the bowls before adding the ice cream, then freeze the filled bowls again before decorating so the ice cream stays firm and the toppings don't slide off.
Work with softened ice cream: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping so it's easy to spread without cracking the Rice Krispies bowls.
Decorate like a sundae: Finish with chocolate syrup, whipped topping, sprinkles, and your favorite candies, cookies, nuts, or fresh fruit for a fun, customizable dessert.
Serve at the perfect texture: Let the edible ice cream bowls sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the ice cream softens slightly while the Rice Krispies bowl stays chewy.
Store for later: Freeze the unfilled bowls for up to 3 months.
Customize every bowl: Fill with your favorite ice cream and toppings just before serving.
