Who Says Halloween is Just for Candy?

Who says that candy is the only kind of sweet allowed on Halloween? October 31 is creeping up pretty soon, and you’re probably wondering how you can make this year extra special. If you’re having a Halloween party this year (or you’re just going to one), why not consider a semi-homemade ice cream snack?

TasteOfHome.com has a terrific recipe for Halloween Ice Cream treats that incorporate some classic tastes of fall, including ginger snaps and Halloween-colored sprinkles. This is the perfect snack to make for a small Halloween get together (or, of course, to keep just for yourself.)

Here’s this recipe, from Taste of Home - don’t forget to use Cold Cow’s Udderly Vanilla flavor, or get creative!

Ingredients 

4 gingersnap cookies 

4 scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1/4 cup) 

1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips 

1 teaspoon shortening 

Orange and purple Halloween sprinkles

Directions

1. Place gingersnaps in a single layer on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; top each with a scoop of ice cream. Freeze until firm.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth.
3. Remove one dessert at a time from the freezer. Dip in melted chocolate; top with sprinkles. Freeze until serving. Repeat with remaining desserts. Yield: 4 servings.
