Star Spangled Ice Cream Sandwiches




Do you need a quick dessert for the 4th of July? Here you go! Short and sweet.

1. Favorite brownie recipe or box mix.

2. Bake brownies according to directions.

I baked mine in star molds, but you could make a thin batch and use cookie cutters to cut them out...after they are cooled completely. {Make sure your pan is well-greased so they don't stick! I do NOT need hate mail. :] }

Freeze cooled brownie "cookies".

You will need two stars for each sandwich.

Scoop a small scoop of peppermint ice cream onto first star. Top with a second
star. Sprinkle edges with a bit of crushed peppermint candy {optional}

Place in the freezer until ready to serve.

If you have waxed sandwich bags, you could store them in the bags and place them in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Happy 4th of July to all of YOU!

  9. Peppermint ice cream is my VERY FAVORITE flavor, and it is hard to get...so when it is out (usually Christmas and summer) I eat it whenever I get the chance! My family would love this easy recipe! Linda
