Peanuts, chocolate chips and maraschino cherries for topping, if desired
Instructions
Prepare brownie mix in a 9x13 pan according to package directions. Evenly spread the ice cream over the brownies and top with an even layer of peanuts. Place pan in freezer.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, powdered sugar and evaporated milk. Add chocolate chips and bring mixture to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Let cool for 10 minutes and pour evenly into pan from freezer. Freeze for 1 hour.
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the top. Cover with foil and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours. Top with chocolate chips, peanuts and cherries before serving, if desired!
Notes
Omit the peanuts entirely for a nut-free dessert.
Be sure to freeze for the full 4 hours to avoid a sloppy dessert.
Top with chocolate chips, peanuts, hot fudge topping and/or cherries before serving, if desired!
