SunButter Chocolate Chip Frozen Sandwiches

Summer is a time for frozen treats and messy smiles. We have a neighborhood ice cream truck that drives up our street with the classic music playing. It reminds me of my childhood and running with a few quarters from my Grandpa to get a treat. Unfortunately, my girls have learned they can not eat anything from our community ice cream truck. Nothing is peanut free and gluten free safe. They see the other children run to the truck and wait for the sundae-cones and sandwiches. My oldest dreams of a safe ice cream truck and says it isn’t fair. What’s a mom to do?

The one thing any mom would do. Give them the world! I have dreamed up the perfect frozen summer treat including a chocolate chip cookie and filled it with the most amazing SunButter flavored ice cream. I grew up loving peanut butter ice cream covered in chocolate syrup. This inspired the SunButter frozen filling for this special treat.

Enjoy!
