This was a fantastic alternative to a birthday treat in lieu of turning on the oven on a hot day... I made half with peanuts and half with pecans since I always get my Peanut Buster Parfait made with pecans instead. This was delicious and simple. Can't wait to "mix it up" by using other flavored oreos, ice cream, carmel sauce, etc.

Made as stated with 2 exceptions: I only had an 80z container of whipped topping and I used bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate for the fudge. All because its what I had on hand, didn't feel like running to the store. No matter, because its great! One of the rare times when my husband and son ate more of a dessert than me! This is one to make for a family get-together, all ages would love it.

This is delicious! I have made it 3 times for company and each time they ask me for the recipe. It is time consuming but well worth the effort.

Wow! I made this for a potluck this weekend and I was the star! I even used low fat evaporated milk and fat free cool whip. This did not adversely affect the taste at all... Not a bite remained and I have many requests for the recipe.

WARNING! You'll want to make one of these just for you to consume all by yourself! The fudge part tastes EXACTLY like what you'll find at your local DQ, I could drink it!! Thanks so much!

I absolutely love this dessert. Only problem is, I open the freezer door if it isn't all gone and make myself sick by eating it. The chocolate, the nuts, the ice cream - what could be better!

I thought this recipe was just OK. I'm not a huge nut fan to begin with, so I would cut the peanuts by a 1/3 or 1/2 on top. The hot fudge topping is delicious. I think if I were to do it over again, I would make 1 1/2 times the hot fudge of what the recipe calls for. However, I think there's better desserts out there. I'll try something else next time.

This tastes just like the original! I didn't have any cookies so I used chocolate graham wafer crumbs, mixed with margarine and a little bit of sugar for the bottom. The taste just didn't fit, I'm sure it would've been fine without them.

Just like a Buster Bar! This is sooooo good! You can cheat and use hot fudge sauce from a jar too.

WOW! We have alot of birthdays in a row so I decided to try this in lieu of a birthday cake. It was a huge hit. If you love Dairy Queen's Buster Bars or Peanut Buster Parfaits this is for you! I'd give it more than 5 stars if possible, my kids loved it and it was so much more refreshing than boring birthday cake! Thanks a bunch, will be making this again for sure!

YUMMY!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!! Very good, this one is worth the effort. Ice cream, chocolate, and whipped topping it is as good if not better than the Dairy Queen. Can do a few days before but hide it and its ready to go. Great recipe Michelle!

This is like a pumped up version of a peanut buster parfait from DQ! I made this for my son's 3rd birthday, and I am still getting requests for this recipe!

This was an excellent frozen dessert. Guests at my dessert buffet gobbled it down quickly. For their more complex palates, I used Starbucks Cappucino Ice cream rather than vanilla. I also had a dab of coconut and some toasted pecans that I placed in the food processor with the butter and chocolate cookie wafers. This addition added a nice texture to the crust. Thanks Michelle.
