For a richer flavor, use premium ice cream sandwiches with a higher butterfat content. Experiment with different flavors of ice cream sandwiches, such as chocolate, cookies and cream, or mint chocolate chip. Substitute other nuts like pecans, walnuts, or almonds for the peanuts, or use a combination of nuts. Add a sprinkle of sea salt over the top for an extra burst of salty-sweet flavor. If you don't have caramel topping, you can make your own homemade caramel sauce. For easier cutting, dip your knife in warm water between slices.

Create the First Layer: Spread half of the thawed whipped topping evenly over the ice cream sandwich base. Drizzle generously with half of the caramel ice cream topping. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of the chopped salted peanuts. (Assembly time: 10 minutes)
