Bonnie's Oreo Dessert

We are having a little birthday bonfire tonight for W. and L. and we made some ice cream frozen desserts for it last night. This Oreo dessert is delicious, easy and quick to prepare. It has no nuts, so is great for allergies. Not-so-great for diets!

Bonnie's Oreo Dessert

1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted
32 crushed Oreos (2 rows plus about 1/3 row of the package-save remaining Oreos for topping!)

Mix together and press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.

Cut up one box of vanilla ice cream and lay over the Oreo/butter base. I usually open the ice cream box completely and slice chunks about 1-2 inches wide with a long knife, then smooth the flat layer in the pan with a spatula. (See first picture.) Spoon or drizzle on 1 jar of ice cream fudge and sprinkle with remaining Oreos, crushed or chopped. Freeze several hours and serve.

If you don't want to buy fudge or don't have a jar on hand, here is a recipe for homemade fudge that works well.

2/3 c. Carnation sweetend condensed milk
1 c. sugar
1 T. margarine
2 squares unsweetend chocolate

Mix all in a small saucepan, bring to boil. Boil one minute, stirring. Cool.
