How to Make Homemade Chocolate-Covered Ice Cream Bars

Ingredients:

Vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)
Melting chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
Crushed nuts
Crushed cookies
Sprinkles
Popsicle sticks

Directions:

Start by scooping your creamy vanilla ice cream into molds or shape them into bars using a spoon—get creative!
Insert a popsicle stick into each bar and pop them in the freezer until they’re solid, which should take around 2-3 hours.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring in between so it gets nice and smooth.
Once your ice cream bars are frozen to perfection, take them out and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated.
Before the chocolate has a chance to set, customize your bars by sprinkling crushed nuts, cookies, or colorful sprinkles on top!
If you want a fun twist, drizzle some white chocolate over the top or add crushed candies like toffee for an extra crunch.
Place your chocolate-dipped bars back in the freezer to harden up for about 30 more minutes.
Finally, once they’re completely frozen, take them out and enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate ice cream bars!
