My family enjoys this recipe. I also make a variation with an Oreo crust. I then put 1/2 of a carton of Snicker ice cream in the crust, add a layer of chopped Snickers candy bars, drizzle with the caramel and hot fudge sauce, rest of the ice cream and then drizzle the top with more caramel and fudge sauces. Both pies are excellent on a hot summer day!

Try making this with a crushed ice cream cone crust ~ just crush sugar cones as you would graham crackers add melted butter & chill ~ Yummmm!!

I made something like this before, but in a 13X9" pan. The only thing that I change is instead of using peanuts, due to an allergy, I use roasted pecan pieces. It's still delicious!

This is a great starter recipe for Buster Bar Pie... I always use Dairy Queen soft serve vanilla, hot fudge and Spanish peanuts to make my pies plus I layer the ice cream, hot fudge & peanuts and then repeat ~ like the original. But the Pièce de résistance is topping the pie with a crunch coating of chocolate ~ Magic Shell works really well. This pie is a HUGE hit with my family & friends. Looks like you spent all day on it but it's super easy to make and delicious! :)

Good recipe. However to take it from Good To Great, try using an oreo cookie crust, and also, layer the hot fudge on top of the peanuts in the middle of the pie. I did it only with the fudge, but maybe both fudge and caramel would work too. I got excellent reviews on this.
