instead of pecans, top with crushed Butterfinger candy bar.....amazing.
Crowd pleaser! I took a whole pan to a cookout and brought it home empty:) I loved it because it was so easy, they loved it because it was equally delicious. I took the suggestion of topping it with crushed butterfingers instead of pecans....mmmmmm!
It went fast at the cookout I brought it to! The hot fudge sauce doesn't pour very easily, and so the final layer didn't spread very well. I covered it with foil and the entire top layer stuck to the foil! *Fortunately* I had decided to put the top layer of whipped topping on right before serving. So I scraped all the fudge and caramel off the foil, spread it in an unattractive layer on top, then covered it all with whipped cream, and then red-white-and-blue sprinkles for Memorial Day! Huge hit.
Kids love this! It's less sinful with Skinny Cow ice cream bars fat free cool whip and low fat chocolate fudge sauce. Butterfinger or whatever decadent bar on top of course!
Fantastic dessert! Found this and needed a dessert (hostessing a family reunion followed by Bunco at my house on consecutive weeks). For the reunion, used a whole jar of the hot fudge sauce on each layer after reading other comments and it worked well. Also took the idea of nuking the sauce for 30 seconds to make the spreading easier. Layered ice cream sandwiches, fudge sauce, Cool Whip and repeated the layers.
For Bunco, a layer of ice cream sandwiches, caramel topping, Heath Bar bits, Cool Whip, ice cream sandwiches, fudge topping, Cool Whip. A hit, again.
The best part was that Friendly ice cream novelties were on sale at a local store-buy 2, get 3 free. The following week, Smucker's toppings were a sale item-buy 2, get 1 free. Talk about a delicious, cost effective dessert-I scored!
This dessert was so simple and so yummy! Instead of the whipped topping in between, I used a Mocha Almond Fudge ice cream :D Next time I'm going to try a Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. The possibilities are endless with this :)
It can't be a sin because I got the recipe from watching the Dugger girls do it!! If "cake" has been in freezer overnight take it out about 20 minutes prior to serving so it isn't rock hard. We love dry roasted peanuts as a garnish but nuts are a "self-serve". Haven't served it to anyone that didn't at least think about having seconds!! Excellent dessert for any occasion.
Klondike bars instead of ice cream sandwiches takes this over the top. Cookies and cream was ridiculous but pick your favorite. Make sure there is something salty and crunchy in between the layers and it will be requested constantly.
Super easy to make. I did make a few adjustments. I added chocolate pudding mix to cool whip and did one layer of sandwiches next chocolate pudding cool whip then fudge and caramel. I did plain cool whip for the top and crushed Oreo on top because no one will eat nuts.
I made this for a group of 8 adults and 4 children ( ages 6-10 ). I had so hoped it would be enjoyed by all, but 3 of the children politely declined dessert. My son-in-law, who is normally not a dessert person, loved it! The other adults ate it, but left portions on their plates. I personally found it to be too rich and sweet.
