Butter Mint Oreo Ice Cream Bars? When I first heard of this concoction, I thought it sounded so crazy. How could it possibly be good? Butter mints don’t go with ice cream and Oreos. But, my sister crossed her heart, and hoped to die. So, I believed her, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been popping my lactose-intolerance pills, like crazy, just so I can scarf down another one of these scrumptious bars. The coolest part is, they’re so easy and fast to make. Like, really.
Butter-Mint OREO Ice Cream Bars
Put your butter mints in a Ziploc bag and your Oreos in another bag. Seal them and bang them up into little pieces. I use my rolling pin and whack away. There is no need to separate the cookie from the frosting, just keep them together.
You can use a 9×13 or whatever sort of pan you want. I happened to have these square slot pans that I have never used, so I thought I would break them in. Place a good handful of crushed Oreos in each slot OR just spread it all across your 9×13 pan. Pat down. I actually added a little bit of melted butter to mine, maybe 4 TBS. just to help it press a little easier. But, afterwards I decided I probably didn’t need it. I think the ice cream would have held it together.
Melt your ice cream, just a bit, until you can easily stir it. Dump in as many of the butter mint chunks and pieces as you want. Stir it together. Spread the mixture on top of the Oreos and freeze until hardened again. It may take several hours.

Yum…Do you think a muffin tin would work for this? I like the separate little squares but don’t have a pan like that. 🙂
Oh, for sure! Really, I think anything would work. 🙂
Oooh, I can’t wait to try this – oreos and buttermints are two of my favorites, but I never thought to combine them…
