We love this Buster Bar Ice Cream Dessert and Clayton’s Aunt Marlene has made it several times for gatherings. If you’ve ever had Buster Bars at Dairy Queen you know what I am talking about.
This combo of peanuts, chocolate and ice cream is to die for! This is great to make for visitors as you make it up and have it ready to go in your freezer.
I’ll be right back I need to go get a piece!
