How to Make Peanut Buster Bar Dessert

  1. Crush 2 cups of your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter. Combine the crumbs and melted butter, mixing until evenly moistened.
  2. Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Freeze for 1 hour.
  3. Evenly spread 2 pints of your favorite vanilla ice cream over the frozen cookie crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of salted peanuts evenly over the ice cream. Gently press the peanuts into the ice cream using the back of a spoon.
  4. Freeze for another hour.
  5. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup.
  6. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly over the ice cream layer. Freeze overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the dessert to set completely.
  8. Let the Peanut Buster Bars soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving for optimal enjoyment. Cut into squares and enjoy!
