Today is the boys’ first day of school, and I’m torn about how I feel. I’m ready to get into a routine but I’m also sad that our days of sleeping in and just doing what we want. I do have one surprise planned for them. I’m going to make their favorite dinner and I’ve prepared a fantastic dessert for them to enjoy after their first day of school. You’ll be able to make this easy recipe and freeze it for a celebration any night of the week! Let’s make a chocolate brownie ice cream sandwich to celebrate using NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® baking mixes. But don’t worry, you can make these chocolate brownie ice cream sandwiches with any brownie mix!
I picked up two boxes of Toll House Baking Mixes at my local Kroger store and asked Aramis which one he’d rather have. I knew he’d choose the Toll House Brownies & More with chocolate morsels but I went ahead and grabbed the Toll House Brownies & More with Butterfingers for a special recipe for the hubs and I. Gotta keep that spark alive people! 😉 There’s also a Toll House Cookies & More with Butterfingers and Toll House Cookies & More with chocolate morsels baking mixes available for cookie lovers! So be on the lookout for those boxes as well!
I can think of so many ways to enjoy these baking mixes and you know do you really need a reason to celebrate? With kids, I’m going to say no. LOL, I was very excited to find out that Nestlé Toll House was launching a new product line because these baking mixes are highly versatile, and when it comes to baking deserts and I trust Nestle Toll House as they’ve got over 75 years of baking experience! As you can see one mixes with many possibilities. A full cup of morsels or baking bits unlocks all sorts of chocolate-baking desserts. Are you ready to upgrade your brownie game?! Let’s get started! You’ll get some “Ooohs and ahhs” when presenting this fantastic dessert!
To bake, follow the directions on the box to mix your chocolate brownies. I will add that you want to not overcook the brownies, you’ll want these a little chewy since you will serve frozen. The additional items you will need for this recipe will be the
- small spring-form pans
- sprinkles
- ice cream
As you can see after I baked the brownies in the spring form pans I let them cool completely and then sliced them into two. I made the brownies into two layers like a cake so that I could spoon in the ice cream. I will add that I put the ice cream in the microwave to melt it some so that it would be easier to spread onto the brownie. Keep the brownie in the spring form pan to help set your sandwich. To set I placed the pans in the freezer for 2 hours. Before you serve, wheel the ice cream sandwiches into the sprinkles! Can’t celebrate without sprinkles! Well, at least you can’t be in my house! LOL
I was very happy with how it turned out, chewy and delicious! The hubs took the boys out for the afternoon yesterday while I baked and prepped so Mommy got to try this one all for herself! I can’t wait to serve the other two for dessert tonight! The boys are going to be so excited!
And don’t forget you can totally make these chocolate brownies ahead and save them for any occasion. Just remember to add the sprinkles before serving, well at least that’s my preference. Enjoy! Make sure to check out the other recipes on my blog!
Question:
What occasion would you celebrate with a chocolate brownie ice cream sandwich?
Cheers!

Brad Reaollano says
The first thing you might be tempted to buy to save time are the ice creams, but that Ghirardelli brownie mix is pretty darn good, so don’t discount it. If you only make one thing from scratch, let it be the chocolate sauce — this Magic Shell Chocolate Sauce is worth it.
Candy says
Thanks for that tip Brad! I need to bake more now that fall is coming 🙂
