Place cookies in food processor and pulse until they form crumbs.  Reserve 1/4 cup of the dry crumbs.

Melt 1/2 stick butter and pour into a bowl with the crumbs.  Mix well.

Soften one of the half gallons of ice cream and scoop about half of the ice cream into the bottom of the bowl.  Spread with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Sprinkle a light layer of cookie crumbs over the ice cream.  Drizzle a layer of got fudge.  Drop some of the Twix bar pieces over the top.  Freeze for at least 45 min.

Pull the bowl out of the freezer and do another layer, using a different kind of ice cream.

Repeat the process until the bowl is full.

Top the ice cream layers with the cookie crumb mixture.  Cover and freeze well overnight.

Prepare a beautiful platter or cake stand that your mud pie will sit on for the final presentation.

Remove the ice cream bowl from the freezer and let soften for a few min.  Slide a hot knife around the edge of the bowl, separating the cookie mixture from the edge of the bowl.

Fill large bowl with hot tap water and dip the glass bowl into it several times.  When you see the ice cream start to separate from the bowl, turn the mud pie upside down on the cake platter.  Keep using the knife and dip method if it isn’t coming out.

Once plated, freeze again for about 30 min. or longer.

To serve, drizzle fudge sauce and sprinkle cookie crumbs and Twix pieces over the top.  Top with whipped cream and serve!
