Most of my friends and I make it with the inexpensive little Dare Breaktime Cookies or the no name generic brands that are similar. The original Snack-and-a-Half (both the ice cream treat and the dessert) uses oatmeal cookies but I've had it with chocolate chip and coconut cookies as well. Most people also sprinkle chopped candy bars between the layers, and I drizzle caramel and chocolate sauces in between as well as I think it adds a little bit of decadence to the dessert. Well, that would be the simplest form of the dessert. It's frozen for several hours and served still frozen or slightly thawed. This dessert uses oatmeal cookies layered between Cool Whip or other whipped topping, topped with chopped Crispy Crunch or Skor bars.
I remember eating those as a kid but I don't think they make them anymore. I don't know who invented this dessert but I guess it was fashioned after the ice cream treat by the same name-two oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with vanilla ice cream and covered with chocolate. I made it this past weekend and took it to Peter's for dessert and sure enough I brought home an empty dish. It shows up when families gather or at church potlucks and I've never seen any leftovers unless it's a teeny, tiny gathering (2 people). Snack-and-a-Half frozen dessert is a well-known favourite among many Newfoundland families, including my own.
