Chocolate Ice Cream Dessert

As promised, here is the chocolate version of the ice cream desserts that I made for my son's birthday party.  Per the birthday boy (and other party participants!) this was "yummy", "very good", "awesome", etc.!

Chocolate Ice Cream Dessert

Chocolate Ice Cream Dessert

12 ice cream sandwiches
8 oz. Cool Whip (or whipped topping), divided
1/2 cup hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed
1 pkg. (4 serving) instant chocolate pudding mix
3/4 cup chopped butterfingers

Layer the ice cream sandwiches in a greased 9" x 13" pan (cut them to fit).  Mix 1 cup of Cool Whip and hot fudge topping.  Add the dry pudding mix and stir until blended, about 2 minutes.  (If mixture is too thick to spread, add up to 1/4 cup milk.)  Spread pudding mixture over ice cream sandwiches.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup butterfinger candy over pudding mixture.  Freeze for one hour.  Spread remaining Cool Whip over top.  Sprinkle remaining butterfinger candy over all.  Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.  When ready to serve, let it sit for about 10 minutes to make it easier to cut.  Store leftover dessert in freezer.

Servings:  12 - 16 servings

  1. This sounds delicious! But how much hot fudge ice cream topping is it? It just says 1/2. Is that half a cup, half a jar (if so, what size jar), what? Thanks.
