Mud Pie

• Mix together:
• 16 oz. package OREO cookies, crushed (I use the food processor to crush them)
• 1/4 c. butter, melted

Press into a 9″ x 13″ pan (I use the Tupperware 9″ x 13″ storage container with the lid) Freeze for about 15 minutes.

Set a half gallon of vanilla ice cream on the counter top while the crust is in the freezer. You don’t want it to completely thaw, but you want it soft so that you can literally spread it onto the crumbs. After spreading the ice cream over the Oreo crust, return to the freezer until the ice cream is firm again.

Pour on a 10 oz. jar of fudge topping.

Drizzle on a 10 oz. jar of butterscotch or caramel topping.

Spread an 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip over the toppings.

Press crushed/chopped candy bars on top. We have used Heath Bars, SKOR bars (although I haven’t seen these for a long time ~ Toffee Bits sold next to the chocolate chips at the store would be similar), Snicker Bars, and small caramel candies once. Even adding a few sprinkled nuts is good.

For some reason to press the topping into the Cool Whip makes it taste better! Although, that probably just in my head.

Freeze it until 10 minutes before ready to serve so that it warms up enough to cut into pieces and serve.
