10 Best Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream sandwiches are a treat that's synonymous with summer. And the only thing better than ice cream is ice cream between two cookies. Not only is a sammie easy to hold and eat on the go, but it's the perfect treat to hand out to kids or BBQ guests, no scooping required.
Not all ice cream sandwiches are created equal, though. Who isn't nostalgic for the traditional vanilla ice cream between two chocolate wafers? But the sky's the limit from there, with different types of cookies and ice cream flavors all in the mix to satisfy any taste. Some ice cream sandwiches even come with sprinkles or chocolate coating. But finding the right combination that is sweet but not over-the-top is a delicate balance.
You can easily make your own ice cream sandwiches and keep them on hand in the freezer. My go-to combo? Putting the Talenti Double Dark Chocolate gelato between two thin and crispy Tate's chocolate chip cookies. But sometimes it's easier to just grab a box of ready-made treats at the grocery store—especially when you can find ones as good as these. Here are the absolute most delicious ice cream sandwiches worth adding to your shopping cart.
Tillamook Peanut Butter Chocolate Waffle Cone Ice Cream Sandwiches
