Why I Love Bed, Bath, and Beyond

I've always loved Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It's a huge store filled with so much useful stuff, half of which is crap you would never need.... but you REALLY want it once you see it. Partner that with their amazing return policy and the fact that they always have 20% coupons available, it's really a win/win situation.

Jon and I registered there for about 90% of our wedding gifts. A lot of it is useful stuff we really want/need... some of it to replace things we already have, some of it new. We were really excited about a few of the random items (those ones you really don't need but REALLY want), namely the Garlic Zoomer and the Ice Cream Molds. And to my great surprise and delight, we got a box-of-fun from BB&B from Christy this week... including the Garlic Zoomer and Ice Cream Molds, among other exciting gotta-have-them things!

So after class today, I decided to break into the ice cream molds and make some tasty ice cream sandwiches.

Step one... the ingredients. Vanilla ice cream, cool whip, and cookie dough.

Step two... bake the cookie dough in a thin sheet


Step three... mix the whipped cream and ice cream. I chose to add some chopped cherries for a little extra flavor.


Step four... use the molds to cut out shapes in the cookie once it's cooked.


Step five... put a cookie in the bottom of the mold, then scoop some ice cream in it, add the second cookie on the top, and close the mold.


Step six... put them in the freezer... step seven will be eating the tastiness- stay tuned for the final result!
