I first heard of this recipe on the "Camp Cookoff: Robert vs. Guy" episode of "Dinner: Impossible" on the Food Network. This dessert was the tiebreaker between Robert Irvine and Guy Fieri with the kids, putting Guy over the top to win. Although Guy suggests using Junior Mints and chocolate syrup and refers to it as a pie, I personally prefer Andes Candies and Magic Shell topping, and adapted the recipe accordingly. The result is an ice cream cake as good as any from Cold Stone Creamery or Dairy Queen.
