*= 20 oz. package of Oreos minus about 8 cookies equals about 16 oz.
**= ice cream measurement refers to how much of the half gallon of ice cream you use. So for 3x the recipe, you need 2 full half gallons, and 1/4 of the third half gallon.


Assembly Directions:
Put the crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9”x13” pan. Mix the melted margarine into the crumbs, and press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Carefully spoon the softened ice cream onto the crust and smooth it out. Don’t fill the pan to the top, as you need to leave room for the topping. Sprinkle peanuts on top of the ice cream. Put the pan in the freezer for the ice cream to harden while you make the topping. To make the topping, put the margarine and evaporated milk in a saucepan and start heating it. Add the chocolate chips and powdered sugar. Stir to mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set topping aside and allow to completely cool. Remove dessert pan from the freezer, and spread the cooled topping over the dessert.

Freezing Directions:
Cover pan with foil or put in a two-gallon freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:
Remove dessert from the freezer about 10 minutes before you want to serve it. Allow dessert to soften slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

Tammy’s Comments:
This is a great dessert to have on hand… everyone loves it! You can make it in two 8”x8” pans instead of a 9”x13” if you want. Once the whole dessert is frozen, you can cut it and wrap each individual piece in a fold-top baggie, or plastic wrap. Put all the wrapped pieces in a freezer bag. Then you can easily remove the needed number of servings.
