How to Make Easy S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches

1. Prepare the Ice Cream:
   • Let the ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to spread.
2. Prepare the Graham Crackers:
   • Break each graham cracker sheet in half to create 16 squares.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips or bars in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside.
4. Toast the Marshmallows:
   • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and slightly melted.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   • Spread a layer of softened ice cream on one graham cracker square. Top with a spoonful of toasted marshmallows and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Place another graham cracker square on top to form a sandwich.
6. Freeze:
   • Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
7. Serve:
   • Once frozen, remove from the freezer and let sit for a few minutes before serving to allow them to soften slightly.
