We had a dinner party and we made this for dessert. It was delicious! Everyone loved it.
4/27/2010 06:26:57 PM Report Abusethis is so delicious.. I made it twice. The second time I couldn't find candy canes so I broke up the individually wrapped peppermints. I also didn't measure exactly the amount of ice cream and probably used more than a quart.

12/28/2009 09:13:16 PM Report AbuseI made this for an office birthday and got rave reviews. My co-workers told me they liked it better than Baskin Robbin/Cold Stone. The birthday boy had 2 helpings! I did make a few modifications. Instead of using the pepperment candies I used the red and white Andes baking chips. I also spread some hot fudge over the crust and let it harden before spreading the ice cream to kind of keep the crust together. Also I put a 8 oz container of cool whip on top of the ice cream.
