🔥 S’more on a Pretzel Stick: My Genius Idea of the Week! 🔥

🔥 S’more on a Pretzel Stick: My Genius Idea of the Week! 🔥

Ever struggled to get that perfect roasted marshmallow off the stick without burning your fingers? 🙋‍♀️ Or maybe you’ve dealt with the sticky aftermath of those gooey sticks? 🙄 And let’s not even talk about the near eye-poking disasters with undone coat hangers! 😱

Well, problem SOLVED! 💡 I swapped out the usual roasting stick for a pretzel, and it’s a total game-changer. Not only does it save your fingers, but you also get a salty crunch that pairs perfectly with the sweet, melty marshmallow. 🙌

No open fire? No worries! You can still enjoy this treat using your oven’s broiler or even the stovetop. The broiler is perfect for anyone who prefers their marshmallows flame-free. 😅

I was going to use a butane torch that looked like a mini gun (how cool, right?), but it arrived without the butane. 😒 Who has time for that? So back it goes!

Who’s trying this out? 🍫🔥🥨

they’re the classic, comforting cookie that always satisfies! 🍪😋

Rice Krispie Ice Cream Sandwich

August 2, 2024 lizellyn Sweets #dessert, #homemade, #icecream, #Icecreamsandwich, #icecreamsandwichday, #kellogs, #ricekrispie, #ricekrispietreats

Chuck the regular cookie and use a rice krispie treat to make an ice cream sandwich. The marshmallow in the rice krispie blends well with the creamy ice cream, yet the krispie part doesn’t get soggy. Perfect Combo.

Note: I used Kellog’s red, white, and blue Rice Krispies and followed the recipe for Rice Krispie treats on the box. I also made homemade no-churn vanilla ice cream to complete the sandwich.
While homemade ice cream and rice krispsie treats are always preferred, store-bought work too.

Tips:
Cut the rice krispie treat to the size sandwich you want first
Freeze the rice krispie treats
Cut the rice krispie treat in half with a serated knife to make thinner
Allow ice cream to soften before smooshing in between rice krispie layers
Return to the freezer

Vanilla Ice Cream doesn’t have to be boring
