Ice cream sandwiches

We made ice cream sandwiches this weekend for ourselves and some guests and I remembered how fun and easy they are to make and eat. Such a simple dessert when you have most of the ingredients on hand with no cooking, baking, chopping, or measuring necessary.
This is how we made ours:

Mint chocolate sandwiches
Mint chip ice cream
Mini chocolate chips
Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers

Let ice cream soften just a bit, scoop it onto a wafer, sandwich it closed with another, roll in mini chips. Freeze.

Chocolate banana nut sandwiches
Vanilla ice cream
Diced bananas
Chopped lightly salted peanuts (I used an electric chopper, so I don't count that as tedious or laborious chopping)
Nabisco wafers

Let ice cream soften a bit, mix in bananas, sandwich it between wafers, roll in chopped nuts. Freeze.

Now, for really good ice cream sandwiches, I would make my own ice cream and cookies, but when you don't think ahead, these do the trick.

(My daughter wanted to pose with the cookies, so that's the result of her little photo shoot, above).
