Memorial Day means so many things to us: white dresses and pants are once again appropriate, sun bathing with a good book at the beach is the ultimate way to relax for the next few months and when one wants a sweet treat- look no further then the ice cream man on the corner.
The Jersey Shore circa 1905 shows Ice Cream sandwiches were popular at 1c each.
Ice Cream sandwiches are as about American as Apple Pie, but are enjoyed all around the world in different forms. The current (and traditional) version of the Ice Cream Sandwich we know today was invented in 1945 by Jerry Newberg when he was selling ice cream at Forbes Field in Philadelphia.
Today, we associate the ice cream sandwich as the traditional combination of a slice of ice cream, commonly vanilla although other flavors are sometimes used, sandwiched between two wafers, usually chocolate and rectangular.
We decided it was time to Dylanize this classic and headed to the NYC Candy Cafe for some inspiration and, of course, some ice cream 
Dylan’s Candy Bar Loaded Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients (Makes 3):
16-18oz of your favorite ice cream (not too hard or too melted) We used the Classic DCB favorites: Circus, banana Chocolate Brownie, and Candy Bar Blast
2 DCB Fruity Rice Crispy treats
1 DCB Belgian Chocolate Dipped Blondie
1 DCB Belgian Chocolate Dipped Blondie
2 XL Cookies ( We used Sugar and M&M Cookies)
Any additional toppings of your choice (Gummy bears, Chocolate Chips, Sprinkles etc.)
- Put all of your ingredients on the surface of a clean work space, so they are all ready to be used
- Pair similar flavors of ice cream and cookies, brownies and rice crispy treats. Or mix it up and try new combos!
- Place the cookie, brownie or crispy treat face down and put the ice cream on top like you are making a regular sandwich
- Place the other brownie, cookie or crispy treat on top and press it down until there is a solid adhesion to the ice cream. Make your own variations like Ice Cream Sandwich Sliders, for a small treat!
- Once you have the finished Sandwich, you can roll the exposed Ice cream sides in fun toppings, put in the freezer for your summer party ( Store in an Air Tight Container for best results ), or eat right away!
