Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert

19 ice cream sandwiches
1 12oz container of cool whip
1 jar (12 ounce) hot fudge topping
1 c. chopped pecans, or 1 c. smashed candy bar (skor, butter finger, the possibilities are endless)

Cut one ice cream sandwich in half. Place one whole and one half sandwich along the short side of an ungreased 9x13 pan. Arrange eight sandwiches in opposite direction in pan. Spread with hot fudge then half of the cool whip. Sprinkle 1/2 c. nuts or your favorite candy bar over the top. Make another layer with the other ice cream sandwiches, top with cool whip and nuts/candy bar and freeze. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
