Cooking Thursday

Today I'm sharing one of our favorite summer desserts.  It's a winner in so many ways!  It's got ice cream, chocolate and oreo's in it, it can be made ahead of time, it's so easy, it's so good, and it has stood the test of time!   I remember my mom making this when I was still in school, and that's been a lot of years.  You can choose the ice cream flavor you like.  I usually use Mackinaw Island Fudge, but I've also used cookies and cream, coffee, mint...  Try it out - I am sure you will like it.
