Ingredients
1 package Oreo cookies, crushed
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
1.5 C salted peanuts
1/2 C powdered sugar
2/3 C chocolate chips
1.5 C evaporated milk
1/2 C butter
1 tsp vanilla
Direction
Mix crushed cookies and melted butter. Press mixture into a 9×13 pan. Stick in the freezer for a few minutes to harden up.
Spread softened (just soft enough to spread, but not all melty) ice cream on top of the hardened cookie layer.
Top with salted peanuts and return to the freezer.
While those layers are in the freezer, make the topping (*note: if you do not want to make the topping from scratch, I’m sure you could substitute for a jar of fudge topping). For the topping, boil the sugar, chocolate chips, evaporated milk, and butter in a small sauce pan for 8 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool & stir in 1 tsp vanilla.
Let cool completely, then spread over ice cream and peanuts. Freeze.
Let freeze completely (at least a few hours) and then serve. Serving tip – run the knife under hot water first before slicing.
Slice into very thin pieces and serve topped with fresh whipped cream or fresh berries. Enjoy!
