Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert
Why is it that once August hits the calendar it feels as though summer is all but over? Last minute appointments, vacations and summer getaways are being squeezed in before school gets back into session. Have no fear, ice cream, and more importantly this Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert is perfect for a late summer grill out or really anytime of year.
This dessert is a play on the delicious Dairy Queen staple
I like remaking Dairy Queen classics like this Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake that I made last year. It is one of the most popular recipes that I have posted since I started blogging TWO years ago!
Delicious layers of ice cream, peanuts, and a homemade fudge sauce.
Makes this so rich and delicious!
And when I say it is rich…
I mean it is R.I.C.H!
A small piece goes a long way in satisfying your sweet craving.
Even though it is a decedent dessert, it is the perfect way to end a warm summer evening.
Just make sure to grab a few extra napkins and spoons.
The fudge sauce is a little messy and you will want to find a friend to share with!
