Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

Since everyone who's tried this so far has liked it, here's the recipe for the 4th of July ice cream sandwich thing I made. I got the idea from a Martha Steward recipe but simplified it down cause Martha just tries too hard and likes making everything from scratch and who has time for that? Plus with this simplified version, you get to do a lot of choosing of what you want to do, so you can really make it your own!



Ingredients:
-whatever type of brownie mix you like and the ingredients the box calls for (I used the Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate mix, I would recommend this brand and especially this mix)
-whatever type of ice cream you want in the middle
-Peanut Butter (only if the ice cream you chose would go well with it, like if you chose mint ice cream, that might not be the greatest idea...)

Instructions:
1.Make the brownies the day/night before. Follow the instructions on the box to make. Try to make thinner brownies, like at 1/4'' thick
2.Once cooled, cut brownies into the size you want the ice cream sandwiches to be, big or small, you choose
3.Stick brownies in freezer overnight. This will make it easier to make the ice cream sandwiches.
4.Once frozen, take out brownies, ice cream and peanut butter(if you decide to use it).
5.Put as much ice cream as you want on your sandwich on the bottom brownie
6.If using peanut butter, spread as much as you want on the top brownie
7.Put the two brownies together and stick back in freezer
8.When eating, you can have it frozen or if you want, nuke it in the microwave for about 20-30 sec. if you want the ice cream a little melted.
9.Stick a cherry or other small fruit on top if you're feeling classy.
10.Enjoy!
