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.

10 mini peanut butter cups, chopped coarse
10 mini Snickers bars, chopped coarse

2. Make Snickers Sauce: Combine Snickers bars and cream in small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted into chunky sauce. Remove from heat.
3. Serve: Scoop ice cream into four bowls and spoon warm sauce over it. Serve.

Frappe
I used to make frappe a lot. The recipe: pineapple sherbet, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas. Freeze and serve over Sprite. Then when I married Tom, I stopped making it because he doesn't like bananas.
But then I had to make treats for a meeting the other day and had a request to make an ice cream treat. I've about used up all of my ice cream treats on that group already, so I went back to my roots and did a frappe. I changed it up a little though. Also yummy!
2 containers pineapple sherbet
1 container vanilla ice cream
1-2 cups frozen raspberries
1-2 cups frozen blueberries
3-4 quartered then sliced bananas
Stir until it starts to turn pink. Freeze. Serve slightly softened over Sprite.
And suddenly as I was stirring, I came up with a non-banana lover solution: remove some before adding the bananas. Store in a different container. We're back to being a frappe-loving family. I'm so excited!
