ice cream sandwiches

You can make easy ice cream sandwiches!

Get graham crackers and you favorite flavor of ice cream.
Let the ice cream soften and then slice it with a knife. You can make thick or thin slices. Freeze and then eat. The graham cracker get a little softer after a few days in the freezer. To keep them fresh you can wrap them in plastic wrap or put them in a zip lock bag. For a added treat you can roll the sides in mini m&m's or mini chocolate chips or anything you like. We did not do that this time but it is delicious!

ENJOY!
