Ice cream sandwich dessert

This is a quick ice cream dessert I found the other night on allrecipes.com. I made it for our Valentine's meal. It was delicious and tasted as though I had spent a lot of time making it. It taste as great as it looks.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (16 ounce) can chocolate syrup
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 19 ice cream sandwiches
• 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Pour the chocolate syrup into a medium microwave safe bowl and microwave 2 minutes on high. Do not allow to boil. Stir peanut butter into hot chocolate until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.
2. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish with a layer of ice cream sandwiches. Spread half the whipped topping over the sandwiches. Spoon half the chocolate mixture over that. Top with half the pecans. Repeat layers. Freeze until firm, 1 hour. Cut into squares to serve.

Since there is just the two of us. I cut the recipe down to using only 12 ice cream sandwiches and using a 8x8 pan. I cut some of the sandwiches to fit into the pan. Used smaller portions of the remaining ingredients.
