Equipment

  • Baking sheet or tray (to assemble and freeze the sandwiches)
  • Microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan (for melting chocolate)
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat (to prevent sticking)
  • Freezer-safe container (for storing sandwiches)
  • Spoon or offset spatula (for spreading ice cream)

Ingredients
  

  • 12 graham cracker squares or more for a bigger batch
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream or swap for chocolate, strawberry, or even cookies and cream
  • 1 ½ cups colored marshmallows mini size works best
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter for smoother chocolate melting
  • Optional toppings: sprinkles crushed peanuts, shredded coconut, or red, white, and blue candy bits

Instructions
 

Prep your tray

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer to chill. This helps prevent melting when assembling the sandwiches.

Soften the ice cream

  1. Leave your pint of vanilla ice cream at room temp for about 5–10 minutes so it’s easier to spread.

Assemble the base

  1. Break your graham crackers into squares and lay half of them out on the cold tray.

Spread the ice cream

  1. Use a spoon or spatula to spread about 2 tablespoons of ice cream on each cracker. Don’t overdo it or they’ll be too messy to eat!

Add the marshmallows

  1. Press colored marshmallows gently into the top of the ice cream. Go wild here—this is where the fun really starts.

Top it off

  1. Place another graham cracker on top of each one to form sandwiches. Press lightly to secure.

Freeze

  1. Stick the tray in the freezer for at least 1.5 hours, or until the sandwiches are firm.

Top with chocolate

  1. Once the sandwiches are frozen, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave (30-second intervals, stirring in between). Spoon or spread a layer of melted chocolate over the top graham cracker of each sandwich, letting it gently drip down the sides. If desired, immediately add sprinkles or candy bits on top while the chocolate is still wet.

Final freeze

  1. Return to the freezer for 15 more minutes to set the chocolate.
