Running Behind

I can not believe it has been so long since I posted some squares. I have a couple ready, but forget to bring them down and get them scanned.

So, I shall try to make up for it by giving you a copy of my. #1 Summer Dessert recipe.

Ice Cream Salad 

Tastes like a plate full of Ice Cream Drumsticks!

1 C Brown Sugar

1 Stick Butter or Margarine

2 C Rice Chex (crushed)

2 C Shredded Coconut

1 C Almonds (sliced)

8" x 8" pan

Directions:

1. Melt Butter and Brown Sugar together . . microwave or stove top is fine
2. Add  Rice Chex, nuts and coconut, mix well
3. Press 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
4. Cover mixture with Ice Cream . . spread to edges of pan.
5. Top with remaining crumbled mixture.
6. Cover with foil and freeze.
7. Leave out 5 - 10 minutes to soften, cut into squares and serve.

Hints:

1. I have used Crispix, Rice Krispies and Frosted Flakes cereals in both name brand and generic. The generic tastes just as good, if not better.
2. Butter or margarine . . mixed with brown sugar they both taste great!
3. Normally, I make a double recipe of the topping mixture . . . I want a nice top and bottom "crust."

If you make it, let me know what you think.
