Mayan Banana

This is loosely based on a dessert I love, my mom 's frozen peanut butter pie. Of course, I adore Haagen Dazs Mayan chocolate ice cream, too, so I thought I would try to combine the 2. You may not need the full half cup of butter for the crust, but I live at high altitude and its super dry, so I need it all!! The chocolate chips can be adjusted based on how chocolate-y you want it, but when it's frozen, it is best to have the mini ones! I may say it serves 8, but my boyfriend thinks it should only serve 2... haha Cook Time is Freezing Time
