1/2: cup butter or margarine

1/4: cup unsweetened baking cocoa

2: cups coarsely crushed chocolate or regular graham crackers (about 20 cracker squares)

1/2: cup powdered sugar

1: carton (1/2 gallon) green mint chocolate chip ice cream, slightly softened

1: cup semisweet chocolate chips

2/3: cup whipping cream
