Rich As Croesus Praline Ice Cream Dessert - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup softened unsalted butter (preferred)
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 cups flour
    1 cup coarse-chopped pecans
    2 (15 -19 ounce) bottles smucker's caramel sauce
    1/2 gallon breyer's brand natural vanilla ice cream, softened
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    Mix together the butter, brown sugar, flour and pecans. Spread evenly on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with Pam (or lightly greased).
    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until browned.
    When cooled, break into coarse praline pieces. Set aside 1 1/4 cups.
    Cover a 9\" X 13\" pyrex dish or pan with the remaining praline pieces.
    Pour 1 1/2 of the jars/bottles of caramel evenly over the praline pieces. Freeze for 45 minutes.
    Remove pan from freezer and evenly cover all with the softened ice cream, (I sometimes use a little more than just a 1/2 gallon - personal preference).
    Sprinkle top of ice cream with the set-aside praline pieces and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce ~artfully~ over the top.
    Freeze.
    DO remember to take this out of the freezer about 1/2 hour before you want to serve it. If you forget, you'll need a hammer and chisel to get it out of the pan!
    This needs to be in the freezer for at least 5 to 6 hours before serving.
