…here is a family favorite dessert recipe that my kids and husband begged me to make for valentines day. it’s called “oreo madness” after the tgi friday dessert. i don’t think they offer this dessert there anymore which is a total shame!
step 1: grease a 9 x 11 cake pan.
step 2: put 1 and 1/2 packages of oreo cookies and pulse in a food processor until the cookies are fully crumbled.
step 3: melt 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter and add it to the crumb mixture and mix until well absorbed.
step 4: put half the crumb mixture in a 9 x 11 cake pan and press down to form a bottom crust.
step 5: take 2 gallons of slightly softened ice cream and scoop it onto the oreo crust.
step 6: smooth out ice cream layer with a spatula.
step 7: add the rest of the crumb mixture to the top layer of ice cream.
step 8: even out and spread out the top layer to fully cover the ice cream.
step 9: cover and return to freezer for 1 hour.
step 10: cut and serve with drizzled caramel and chocolate sauce.
…so this is about how much snow we got…a dusting. the schools closed in anticipation of 8 to 10 inches and the snow never stuck to the roads. i’m so glad i canceled all my driving around that I needed to do. well at least the kids had fun right?
