This is a delicious recipe that can be tweaked to your individual tastes. Peanuts can be substituted with crushed Oreos, your favorite candy bars broken up, etc. You can use different dessert sauces such as caramel in place of chocolate, or just use both. This was really good and so easy. I used French vanilla Cool Whip instead of regular. Use your imagination. It sure is a winner at any birthday party, etc! You can also decorate the top of this ice cream cake for a child or adult's birthday with an edible sheet cake image or other party decorations for any occasion.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Looking for an easy no-bake dessert for summer? This ice cream sandwich cake is seriously the easiest cake to prepare. Once sliced, you can see the layers of ice cream sandwiches, fudge, peanuts, and whipped topping. The combination of salty peanuts, sweet chocolate, and creamy ice cream is divine. We opted to sprinkle our favorite colored chocolate candies on top when serving. Don't be surprised if your family requests this cake time and time again. It's a keeper!
