So this dessert was right up my alley. I guess that explains why I thought it up.

It’s really easy to make too. You start with a package of ice cream sandwiches. These get layered with peanut butter and raspberry jam. Then frost the whole thing in Cool Whip. I love a recipe that’s assembly-only.

The kids thought they were great, and because they weren’t expensive to make, I didn’t mind them snacking on them too. It also helps that I was able to make 20 or 21 sandwiches, so they lasted a while.
