Step 6 -Spread 1/2 of the whipped topping over the ice cream sandwich layer.

Step 8 -Repeat the layers with the remaining ice cream sandwiches, the remaining whipped topping, the remaining chocolate-peanut butter mixture, and the remaining peanuts.

Step 9 -Freeze the casserole until firm, at least 1 hour.
