Number Of Ingredients 10

30 -32 Oreo cookies, filling removed and cookies crushed into crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened (I use Kemp's)
1 1/2 cups salted Spanish peanuts
1/2 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Steps:

Combine cookie crumbs with the melted butter till well coated.
Press into bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Place in freezer 15 minutes.
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the chilled cookie crust.
Sprinkle salted Spanish peanuts evenly over ice cream.
Place cake back into freezer.
For the chocolate fudge sauce melt butter over medium heat with powdered sugar and evaporated milk.
When melted add chips and whisk till smooth.
Let come to a boil; boil 8 minutes whisking occasionally till thickened. (make sure to watch boiling sauce carefully so it does not boil over).
Take off heat and and whisk in vanilla.
Let cool to room temperature. (may place pan of chocolate sauce into a large bowl with ice to chill down faster).
When cooled pour chocolate sauce over top of ice cream and peanuts.
Freeze 15 minutes.
Carefully frost top of cake with Cool Whip and garnish with extra peanuts (may also reserve 1/4 cup of chocolate fudge sauce to drizzle for garnish as well).
Cover with tin foil and freeze overnight.
Let sit out 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
