Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

 

This Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert looks and tastes like you spent lots of time making it, but it will be your secret how very quick and easy it is to make.

Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

12-24 frozen ice cream sandwiches*

1 (8 oz.) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed

Roasted, salted cocktail peanuts

1 (approximately 12 oz.) jar hot fudge topping

Arrange a layer of ice cream sandwiches in the bottom of an ungreased 9x9 baker cutting to fit.  (See image below.) Spread with half of the whipped topping. Sprinkle with desired amount of cocktail peanuts.  Spoon half of the fudge topping by teaspoonfuls onto the peanuts/whipped topping layer.  Repeat layers with ice cream sandwiches (cutting to fit), remaining whipped topping, desired amount of peanuts, and the rest of the hot fudge topping.  Freeze without covering for at least 3 hours.  Once frozen, cover.  Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving.  To make clean slices, run a sharp knife under hot water, wipe dry, then slice and serve.  Store in freezer.

*My 9x9 baker widens at the top, so I have to use 16 ice cream sandwiches to fill it.  You may need less or more depending on the actual dimensions of your baker.

*You can use caramel topping instead of, or in addition to, the hot fudge topping.  You can use mini M&M's, sprinkles, chocolate chips, toffee bits, Crushed Oreo cookies, or anything else you desire instead of the peanuts.
