It’s like putting a kid in candy store with no money. I know, I know, I KNOW! That’s cruel and unfair. You’re going to have to let it firm up in the freezer for at least 5 hours (I did over night). This is ridiculously easy to make however… Truth be told, I didn’t come up with the filling until I was home, searching through my cupboards and found a box of cookies ‘n cream pudding mix.

I knew there would be fudge and whipped cream but it needed a filling – something that wouldn’t melt so fast. How could I put a twist on them, ‘fancy schmancy’ them up. On the way home from the store I was smiling from that memory and starting drifting off to things I could make with the sandwiches. Again, having just returned from vacation, I had nothing cooked and was still pretty jet lagged. While at the store I picked up 2 small boxes of them (the square Klondike ones) and figured that would be a great treat for dessert. Like I was saying it was National Ice Cream Sandwich Day and I was going grocery shopping. Okay so now that I have tears in my eyes after typing that all out…. It was such a simple, innocent moment but it’s something I’ll always cherish… He never said a word but he reached over and held my hand in his greased palm. The smile on his face is something I’ll never forget. Well almost half, I handed the bigger half to my Dad and said “Here Daddy, I share.” in my squeaky little voice. I looked back at my ice cream sandwich, looked back up and him, back at the sandwich and then broke it in half. Even at that age I knew the look of “man that looks good but you eat it, it’s okay I’m fine.” and I stopped.

When I went to take a bite I looked up at my Daddy, his face covered in grease and sweat, clothes full of dirt and dust and the look of love in his beautiful blue eyes. He handed it to me and I quickly tore it open to look at that glorious chocolately cake wafer and soft vanilla cream ice cream. I vividly remember him saying “These look so good, I’ll take a break and eat one with you.” However as he reached in the box he realized that there was only one. He snuck in and when he came home he was holding the box. When he approached the kitchen door he put his finger to his lips and told me to Shhhh as he had to sneak into the kitchen while all dirty because if my mother caught him, she would have taken the cast iron skillet to his behind. We had 41 acres and we had a ‘for the animals’ area that got left over scraps and what not. Yes, we had an ‘over the hill’ part of the yard. So as he walked up the sidewalk, his face and hands covered in grease, dirt on his clothes he came towards me, grabbed the sandwich and threw it ‘over the hill’. Well my Dad saw all this happening and yelled up to me to stop, not eat it and wait. LOL I tried to give the cat that part of the ice cream sandwich but yeah… Snowball wasn’t having any part of that. Yes… even at 4 years old I knew about the 5 second rule. Being 4 I got mad at the cat, yelled at him and went to pick up my now rock, covered ice cream. Snowball got in my face to get a bite, I went to push him away and somehow I ended up dropping the ice cream sandwich on the cement. Well he set his sights on the sandwich and what Snowball wanted, Snowball got. He was solid muscle and I swear part cow.

I mean he was the town ruler of cats… and some dogs.

Well our one cat, Snowball, was a bruiser. I was sitting on the glider, swinging my feet watching my Dad work on the car in heaven eating this glorious vanilla ice cream sandwich – chocolate cake stuff stuck to my cheeks and my fingers and the cats getting up on my lap trying to sneak a lick. So the other day was National Ice Cream Sandwich Day and it instantly brought me back to when I was about 4 years old sitting on our front porch eating an ice cream sandwich.
