Happy Friday! Iโm spending my last few hours with my family here in tropical paradise before heading off to NYC this afternoon for my Anthropologie Workshop and Meet and Greet this Sunday. Are you guys coming? Iโd love to meet as many of you as possible. The workshop is from 11am to 12pm and you can RSVP for that here. The meet and greet and book signing will directly follow the workshop and Iโll be there until 3pm on Sunday.
This is my only meet and greet while I am in NYC, so come say hi if you can. Again, Iโd love to see you all!
As I mentioned, Iโm leaving my family today after about 8 amazing days. Weโve traveled from Turks and Caicos up to Nassau, spent a lot of time in the sun, and most of us are very sun-kissedโฆme? Iโm very red, with sun rashes, because apparently my skin is very sensitive to the sun. All is good though because Iโve had an awesome time off with my family and we could not have asked for better weather.
That said, Iโm really excited to be getting back to the real world today, and so excited to be heading to NYC, one of my favorite places!
More on vacation life laterโฆ
Letโs talk about these ice cream sandwiches, that are hands down going to be one of my favorite ice cream treats of the summer. These are SO GOOD.
Think about it this way, sweet and creamy chocolate peanut butter ice cream, sandwiched between soft and chewy rice krispie treats, all frozen together, cut in squares, and then dipped in a light coating of chocolate shell and sprinkled with sea salt.
Here are the details.
Everything starts with the rice krispie treats. I like to make mine a little healthier than most, but donโt worry, I donโt sacrifice any flavor. I like to use honey and peanut butter as my โglueโ and then stir in the brown rice krispies. From here, I press half the krispie treat mixture into a square baking dish, freeze until cool, and then add a thick layer of chocolate peanut butter ice cream.
If you ask me, the chocolate peanut butter ice cream is key. You can of course use whatever flavor ice cream youโd like, but I love the swirls of peanut butter throughout the chocolate ice cream. Plus, it pairs well with the peanut butter in the cereal layer.
Once the ice cream has been added, add the remaining layer of rice krispies and freeze until firm. Once frozen, cut the sandwiches into bars and dip lightly in chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt.
Itโs not a must, but it sure is good.
And there you have it, six simple ingredients (not including the salt) and super easy to make. Does not get better.
Alright, now let me tell you how you should go about eating these. My dad has given me the secret trick that he says you all need to know. Warning, itโs not the most civilized way to eat an ice cream sandwich (but then none of the Gerard crew are very civilized).
You ready?
Place your sandwich on a plate, take a fork, press about a third of the way into the sandwich, not all the way into the center, but about a third of the way in. He says if you only go a third of the way in, the chunk of ice cream will stay positioned on your fork and you can then easily eat around the sandwich while itโs still on your fork.
He says this is the most enjoyable and least messy way to eat this particular ice cream sandwich. Dad LOVED these, so youโll have to take his word for it guys.
He also said what he loved most about these ice cream sandwiches was that they stay soft and chewy even though theyโre frozen. Not sure how that happens, but I think itโs something to do with the air in the rice krispie cereal. I donโt know, just enjoy them, the point is that these ice cream sandwiches are beyond good.
You really need to make them. I suggest tonight, this week, again for the 4th of July. Just make them.
Fair warning, these are addicting. Once you make themโฆyou will be making them again.

Wow! These are delicious! Instead of using a chocolate peanut butter ice cream, I used a canadian brand(Shaw’s) that’s called Granny’s Cupboard. It is vanilla ice cream with a peanut butter ribbon and cookie dough and brownie pieces. So good!!!!
