Spread 1 cup fudge topping over cake; freeze about 1 hour or until topping is firm. In a large bowl, mix ice cream and coarsely chopped candies; spread over cake. Freeze about 4 hours or until ice cream is firm.
In a chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
