Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

No one will believe this awesome dessert is just dressed-up ice cream sandwiches.

19 ice cream sandwiches
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 jar (11 3/4 ounces) hot fudge ice cream topping
1 cup salted peanuts

Cut one ice cream sandwich in half. Place one whole and one half sandwich along a short side of an ungreased 13-by-9-by-2- inch pan. Arrange eight sandwiches in opposite direction in the pan. Spread with half of the whipped topping. Spoon fudge topping by teaspoonfuls onto whipped topping. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup peanuts. Repeat layers with remaining ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping and peanuts (pan will be full). Cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 20 minutes before serving. Cut into squares.

Yield: 12-15 servings.
