Oreo Cookie Dessert

Submitted by Mindy Abendroth

1 package of Oreos
2-3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream
1 jar of fudge (or caramel)
1-8oz container of cool whip

Crust - Crush up about 2/3 of the package of oreos and mix with melted butter. Spread in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Put crust in freezer for 20 or more minutes to let harden.

After oreo cookie crust has frozen, put on a layer of ice cream (about 1/2 gallon). Put back in freezer to harden.

After ice cream has hardened, add fudge or caramel (hint: it's easier to spread if you have warmed the caramel/fudge a little bit --about 30 seconds in the microwave usually works). Put back in the freezer for a little while.
Optional - can add unsalted peanuts into the fudge or caramel.

After fudge/caramel has firmed up, spread a layer of cool whip and top with crushed oreos. Serve frozen.

ENJOY!!!!!! :)
