How to Make Butter Brickle Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create a crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 6 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix and 3 cups cold milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups softened vanilla ice cream until well combined.
  7. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  9. Once set, spread 1 (8 ounce) container of thawed Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer.
  10. Top with crushed Heath bars to your liking.
