Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bar Dessert

As promised here is the recipe for the dessert I made last night.  My friend's husband or my friend-in-law as I call him, gave this dessert amazing reviews. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bar Dessert
Recipe Courtesy of Pennies on a Platter

Ingredients
- 8 ounces chocolate syrup (1 cup)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 - 18 (rectangle) ice cream sandwiches
- 8 ounces frozen Cool Whip, thawed
- 1/2 cup chopped peanut butter cups

1. Heat the chocolate syrup in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth; set aside.
2. Layer half of the ice cream sandwiches on the bottom of an 8x8 square baking pan. Evenly pour half of the chocolate-peanut butter sauce over the top. Spread with an even layer of half of the Cool Whip, then sprinkle with half of the peanut butter cups. Repeat the layers (sandwiches, chocolate sauce, Cool Whip) ending with another sprinkle of peanut butter cups. Cover loosely with foil and freeze for at least 1 hour. To serve, cut into squares.

*Note: This recipe can be doubled, using a 9x13 pan.

Enjoy!
