This truly is a 'melting moment'. That hot fudge sauce melts the ice-cream like there's no tomorrow so I had to snap these pics fast so I'd have some ice-cream left to eat. I ended up sharing this with my husband because I made it too big, sometimes my eyes really are bigger than my belly. But what's it called?
Peanut butter brownie ice-cream stack with hot fudge sauce...now that's a mouth full.
Just as good by themselves.

Assembling
Place one brownie square on a plate. Scoop out some softened ice-cream (the amount is up to you) and spread it over the top of the brownie. Place another brownie on top. Now you can either add another layer of ice-cream and brownie or you can pour over the hot fudge sauce to finish.
