Snack N' A Half

Olivia Daly
A classic Newfoundland dessert that is at all of our potlucks and for good reason. Snack n' a half is a nostalgic icebox cake that includes cream, chocolate and peanut butter that is ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 1/4 boxes Breaktime oatmeal cookies (about 50 cookies if using this brand)
  • 1.5 Litres (16oz) Cool Whip
  • 4 crispy crunch bars, crushed (about 200g)

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x13 pan if you desire, I typically don't though. Pour the milk into a wide mouth bowl, something you can dip in easily.
  • Dip the cookies into the milk and then line the bottom of the pan until covered.
  • Spread 1/2 of your cool whip over top of the cookies and then sprinkle 1/2 of your crispy crunch bar crumbs over top.
  • Repeat these steps once more so that you have 2 layers of cookies and finish with crispy crunch bar crumbs on the top. Cover with saran wrap and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving and enjoy!
  • Store in the fridge or freezer but I prefer it kept in the freezer.
