2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal

For Crust: In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/4 cup corn syrup, the butter or margarine, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils. Remove from heat.
Add rice cereal and gently stir until combined. Press into the bottom and up the side of a buttered 10-inch pie plate to form a firm, even crust. Cool.
