Chocolate-Marshmallow Ice Cream Sandwiches

Chocolate-Marshmallow Ice Cream Sandwiches

S’mores + candy bars + chocolate cake = a recipe for guaranteed dessert deliciousness. All three combine in our irresistible ice cream cookie sandwich recipe! Rather than starting from scratch, the cookies are based on chocolate cake mix, while the chocolate ice cream gets a semihomemade twist with the addition of chopped Twix bars. Layer both with a schmear of marshmallow creme, and dessert is done. (No campfire required.)

These PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches look like you spent loads of time bringing them to life, but the supermarket does most of the work for you (our little secret!). Bake a roll of peanut butter cookie dough in square-shape bites, add a mini scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and crown it all with a dollop of your favorite fruit preserves.

For even more sweetness, amp up your strawberry or peach ice cream recipe with pieces of fresh fruit.
