Ice cream sandwich dessert

Believe it or not, I DO occasionally make "normal" food but its not very interesting talking about grilled chicken and frozen veggies. I had the chance to make another scumptious dessert this week for my ladies social group. We all just bring a variety of snacks etc and they know I'm usually good for the sweets. It's a little tricky taking something frozen but I'm attempting to be more organized using up my freezer stockpile so I decided to make this yummy contribution. It's quick and easy and tastes like a DQ Peanut Buster parfait, or so I'm told.



 
I only had the JUMBO sandwiches, but what the heck, it worked just fine. I cut a few in half to see if it would make a difference and there was none so you can basically go with whatever you have on hand.


Doesn't it look yummy? Goes together lickity split and makes a generous portion.
Here's the recipe..... Give it a try.

Ice Cream Bar Dessert

1 can chocolate syrup
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
19 ice cream sandwiches (smaller type)
1 (12 oz container Cool Whip )
1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup chocolate chunks or chips

Microwave syrup for about 2 minutes. DO NOT BOIL! Stir in peanut butter. Cool to room temperature. Line a 9 x 13 pan with sandwiches, spread 1/2 whipped topping, 1/2 choc mixture, top with 1/2 peanuts and repeat. Freeze and enjoy.
