Coffee, Caramel & Cream

Sorry for the delay in blogging. In January I enrolled in interior design school and have been busy immersing myself the the amazing theories of design and history of architecture. I LOVE my classes and the work doesn't feel like work at all :-)

Back to blogging world....

Last Sunday was my husband's birthday. He's not a huge fan of cake. I'll pause here to let that last sentence sink in.

Yes, I said he is not a fan of cake. He doesn't fit in at all with our family. Just kidding :-)

What he does love is ice cream cake. So each year on his birthday his family has gotten him an ice cream cake (and sometimes even a regular cake for the rest of us ...... his family is pretty awesome like that).

Over the last few years I have experimented with different forms of homemade ice cream cakes, and after testing and tweaking many, I have come up with the winner. It's so easy to make. It will take you all of 20 minutes.


What you need:

• 24 ice cream sandwiches
• 3 snickers bars
• 1 cup salted peanuts
• hot fudge topping
• caramel topping
• 8 oz cool whip topping

Place the snickers in a food processor and pulverize!

                                        
Set the snickers crumbles aside and pulverize the peanuts.

                                         

Spread your fudge on top of the sandwiches and follow with the caramel.

                                     
Lick the jars clean even if it is right before dinner time.

Spread all of the snickers crumbles down, then MOST of the peanut crumbs. (Save some for the garnish).

                                   
Place another layer of sandwiches on top.
