Ice Cream Sandwich Time!

In honor of the 80 degree weather we had yesterday, I thought it was high time I get back in the kitchen and whip up a little treat for the heat!  Can't wait for you all to make them and report back! 

Ingredients:

Box of brownie mix (any box that yields a 9x13 pan)

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup canola oil

1 egg (again, I use carton, so then 1/4 cup)

Ice cream (pick your fave)

Mix above ingredients together. 

Use a small scoop to drop 12 brownie blobs onto

a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes

The batter will make 24 cookies, so I have a second baking

sheet lined with the parchment ready to go in when I pull the

first one out, because these need to cool completely on

the baking sheet (vs. being transferred to a rack for drying)

After the cookies have cooled, place 2 on a piece of foil

topped with parchment paper and use a large scoop

to cover one cookie with ice cream. 

This is when you can make it your own...what's your

favorite ice cream?  Put 'er in the middle instead

of the vanilla ice cream. 

One other way to make it your own: roll the ice

cream edges in sprinkles, crunched up cookie bits,

toffee pieces or mini chocolate chips

Fold the parchment around the ice cream sandwich,

which prevents the foil for sticking to the ice cream

(lessen learned a few years ago, when I pulled a stack

out of the freezer for a party).

Voila!  Pop in the freezer and you officially have

tasty treats on hand! 

Delish!  If I do say so myself!
