Grasshopper Ice Cream

A family favorite:

56 Oreos, crushed
1 c chopped pecans
1/2 c melted butter
1/2 gallon mint-chocolate chip ice cream, softened
1/2 gallon mint-brownie chunk ice cream, softened

In a small bowl, combine cookies, butter and pecans. Spread half of the mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Top with softened ice cream.  (either mix separately or create 2 layers)  Sprinkle remaining cookie mixture on top.  Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desire.  Freeze until ready to serve.

Obviously, you could use 1 gallon of mint-chocolate chip ice cream also.

A popular recipe around here (and very easy too):

1 cup Karo syrup
1 Cup sugar
1 cup peanuts, salted, unchopped
3 cups Rice Krispies
1 pkg. chocolate chips
1 pkg. butterscotch chips

Stir together Karo syrup and sugar.  Microwave for 2 minutes.  Add peanuts and peanut butter to the Karo mixture.  Microwave everything for 1 more minute.  Add 3 cups of Rice Krispies.  Spread into a greased 9x13 pan.

Combine chocolate chips (on bottom) and butterscotch chips in a bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes.  Stir until smooth.  Spread over krispie mixture.  Cool in the refrigerator.  Cut into 1: squares.
