Chocolate & peanut butter graham sandwiches

Graham cracker sandwich with ice creamMy mom has always raved about a simple treat my grandmother enjoys making as a dessert. I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy them on a few visits, too. The idea is simple: melt some chocolate chips, add some peanut butter, and sandwich the warm mixture between two graham crackers. Refrigerate them for a bit, and you’ll have a light snack or dessert perfect for the summer.

Mom and I made a batch over the weekend, but we added a bit of a kick: a scoop of cookie dough ice cream on top. I think we found a winner. Once home, I did a bit of experimenting and found that Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked is another great option for a topper.

Both variations of these little suckers have helped me overcome these hot summer days. (Chocolate always seems to have a way of doing that.)
