Tip

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

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.
