Instructions

Step 1: Line and Layer the Base
Line a 9×13-inch deep dish pan with plastic wrap, making sure it overhangs the sides for easy removal later. Create a single, snug layer of Nutty Buddy bars along the bottom—break a few in half if needed to fill in the corners.

Step 2: Vanilla & Fudge Layers
Let the vanilla ice cream soften slightly. Scoop it onto the Nutty Buddy base and spread evenly into a smooth layer. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top.

Step 3: Chocolate Layer
Place another layer of Nutty Buddy bars over the fudge. Let the chocolate ice cream soften, then spread it evenly across the top to create a smooth surface.

Step 4: Freeze to Set
Fold the excess plastic wrap over the top and cover tightly. Place the cake in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely solid.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
When ready to serve, lift the cake out using the plastic wrap. Transfer to a platter and remove the wrap. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top and, if desired, add an extra drizzle of hot fudge. Slice and serve immediately.
