Directions

1. Prepare the Ice Cream:
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into a rectangular dish or silicone mold, pressing it down to create an even layer. Insert popsicle sticks into the ice cream and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.

2. Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate according to the package instructions, stirring until smooth.

3. Coat the Ice Cream Bars:
Once the ice cream is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Carefully cut the ice cream into bars or remove them from the mold. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.

4. Add Toppings:
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the crushed nuts, crushed cookies, or sprinkles over the bars for added texture and flavor.

5. Freeze Again:
Place the coated bars back on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chocolate has hardened, your homemade chocolate-covered ice cream bars are ready to enjoy. Serve them as a refreshing dessert or snack.
