Chopping Nuts

Before chopping nuts in a food processor, dust them with flour. This keeps the nuts from sticking to the processor. —Gladys W., Calvert City, Kentucky

We went out for dinner with friends last night and back to our house for dessert. I made this...everyone really enjoyed it. I used toffee crunch instead of peanuts. So easy to make. Yummy!

This tastes like a Dairy Queen Buster Bar! It was so easy and so GOOD! We're not fans of whipped topping so I eliminated that. I made my own homemade fudge topping and covered the dessert with it and froze that too.
