Chonky Boys: The Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches that Scream Summer!

Image
Featuring my thick and nuggy Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these ice cream sandwiches are the stuff that summer dreams are made of.  If you've ever had the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Disneyland , you are going to LOVE these!  These big and bold chocolate chip cookies are based on a recipe from my culinary school studies at Auguste Escoffier, but with a few modifications to give them that Jennuine touch.  They make the perfectas book for a fat slice of real vanilla bean ice cream.  And those mini chips?  You just gotta have that extra cronch! Thank goodness this recipe only makes 8 sandwiches, otherwise I would be eating them for breakfast lunch and dinner.  This way, my big family can help save me from my inner child diet-saboteur.   Print With Image Without Image Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches Yield: 8 Author: Jenn Erickson Loaded with chocolate chips and buttery, brown-sugary vanilla flavor, these mall-sized cookies form a perfect partnership with a

Hot Fudge and Caramel Rum Sauce Recipes for Your First SUNDAE of the New Year

Hope your New Year is off to a SWEET start!

For New Year's Eve this year we gathered with a few close friends where we shared our favorite chili recipes and finished off the evening with an ice cream sundae bar. My family's contribution to the ice cream sundae bar was a jar of homemade Hot Fudge Sauce and a jar of homemade Caramel Rum Sauce.
These sauces are so delicious and take hardly any time at all to make. You'll never want to go back to those preservative laden store-bought sauces again.

At the bottom of this post, I've shared a free download for the kitchy little labels I put on my sauces. They're designed to fit the Kerr wide mouth jar lids. I like to print mine on sticker paper, for easy application.
