Ice Cream Cereal Squares

So, with my chocolate lover off to camp, I decided to make an ice cream dessert for my oldest with all the flavors he likes.

Since July is national ice cream month, I thought I should do my part to honor such an important time of the year!  Ok, let’s be truthful, it’s a made up event but it is fun to eat ice cream, make ice cream and try new flavors & recipes.  So, with my chocolate lover off to camp, I decided to make an ice cream dessert for my oldest with all the flavors he likes.

I started off with a crunchy, cereal crust that was sweet and nutty.  Then, I added the richness of maple syrup to good, store bought, vanilla ice cream and turned this dessert into something really special.  Everything came together in about 15 minutes and after wrapping it up & placing it in the freezer, I kissed it goodbye for a few hours.  I’ve decided what’s great about this dessert is that you can use so many different combinations of cereals and ice cream flavors…just pick whatever you like, then go for it.  Oh, and for the record…all the boys at the dinner table last night were quite sure you’d like this one, so don’t forget to let me know!www.asouthern-soul.blogspot.com

    1. Thanks Melissa! The vanilla and plain rice cereal made a great combo for the crust. My guy does not like peanut butter so I changed to the almond butter and it was a hit!
