Ingredients
  

  • 24 ice cream sandwiches
  • 16 oz Cool Whip thawed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate sauce
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Arrange 12 ice cream sandwiches in a single even layer across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Trim one or two to fill any gaps as needed.
  • Spread half of the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the ice cream sandwich layer.
  • Drizzle 1/4 cup of the chocolate sauce and 1/4 cup of the caramel sauce over the Cool Whip. Sprinkle half the chopped pecans and half the mini chocolate chips over the top.
  • Place the remaining 12 ice cream sandwiches on top, trimming to fit as needed. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over this second layer.
  • Drizzle the remaining chocolate and caramel sauces over the Cool Whip. Scatter the remaining pecans and chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and freeze for 3 to 4 hours until fully solid.
  • Remove from the freezer, let sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Make sure Cool Whip is fully thawed before spreading for the smoothest, most even layers.
Let sauces come to room temperature before drizzling — cold sauce clumps and does not flow.
Cover the pan with foil loosely to prevent it from sticking to the toppings.
Freeze overnight for best results when making ahead.
Store tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Remove from the freezer 3 to 5 minutes before slicing for clean, easy cuts.
