Summer rainy days and kids do not go together. They'll stay inside and becomes weapons of living room destruction., Either that or they'll become glued to whatever electronic device they can get their hands on .For a fun alternative have them make the summer classic - the ice cream sandwiches,They can explore their creative side plus make a tasty treat . (hopefully after lunch and before a good, nutritious dinner).
Every ice cream sandwich starts off with a good base. Most store bought ones usually have a crisp cookie however you can sub in store bought chocolate chips or even snickerdoodles. Most supermarkets sell large cookies in their bakery department and these are perfect for your sandwiches. You can also try sliced Rice Krispie treats too . Take the bars and slice them horizontally.Another spin is taking uniced cupcakes or sweet muffins, such as chocolate or chocolate chip and using them as bases.
What kind of ice cream works?Any kind! Buy two or three different flavors so the kids can mix and vary. Some suggestions are a rich butter pecan sandwiched between snickerdoodles are good as is just plain vanilla. Chocolate chip mint is a great filler between two plain chocolate crisps. Regular chocolate chips go well with - what else - chocolate chip cookies. Be creative and fun. You can then have the kids roll their creations in chocolate or colored sprinkles as finishing touches.They can also roll then in mini chips or chopped nuts too.
An ice cream sandwich can save a summer rainy day, Have some cartons and cookies ready to make this fun treat. Both you and the kids will love them!
