Mud Pie (Grasshopper Pie)

Serves 12

1 package Oreos with chocolate cream filling
3/4 cube margarine, melted
1/2 gallon ice cream, mint chip
8 ounces light frozen whipped topping, thawed

Crumble up the cookies.  I run mine through my salad shooter.  It works great.  You can also use a food processor or do it hand by putting them into a zip lock and use a rolling pin to crush them.

Melt butter and combine with the cookie crumbs.  Press mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish or in a 9 " pie plate press the mixture all the way up the sides of the pan; pack tightly so the crust is even and compacted.

Soften or slice 1/2 gallon of mint chip ice-cream.  Gently spread to fill evenly.  Spread the ice-cream with cool whip.

Cover and freeze at least two hours to firmly set.

You can garnish this dessert with chocolate syrup and a maraschino cherry. Or you can just crumble     chocolate cookies on top.
