1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts


DIRECTIONS
Combined crushed cookies and melted margarine and press into a 9x13 inch dish. Chill 1 hour in refrigerator.

First off - Happy Anniversary!!!

Second - I think that your dessert looks great and I may have to print this out to try here soon, maybe for the church potluck on Sunday.

I like what you say about the leftovers - "If it isn't moving you can eat it!" That is great. We call left over times - "Free Style" though I do not post it that way on my blog.
