INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butter (no substitutes), divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream*
  • 2 cups salted dry-roasted peanuts, crushed

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, milk, chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool completely.
  2. Melt the remaining butter; toss with wafer crumbs. Press onto the bottom of a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. pan. Cut ice cream into 1-1/2-in. slices; arrange over crust. Sprinkle with nuts. Freeze for 30 minutes. Spread cooled sauce over nuts. Cover and freeze for 1 hour or until firm. May be frozen for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
