I got this recipe from one of my favorite blogs to read Real Mom Kitchen. So thanks to Laura for this easy and fun summer dessert recipe. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add this to my list of recipe's. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

19 ice cream sandwiches
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping i.e. cool whip, thawed
1 jar (11-3/4 ounces) hot fudge ice cream topping
1 cup salted peanuts chopped

Cut one ice cream sandwich in half. Place one whole and one half sandwich along a short side of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. 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: 15 servings.
