Mint Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Ice Cream Cake

A while back I bought an ice cream cake from Cold Stone and was a little taken back by the price. I wondered if I could make one. I wasn't sure how hard it would be. After searching Pinterest I realized how easy they are to make. They are way cheaper to make then they are to buy.

Mint Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Ice Cream Cake

1 package brownie mix (get whatever kind you like best)
1 carton mint chocolate chip ice cream
1 package mint Oreos
1 package regular Oreos
1 jar hot fudge

Bake the brownie mix according to it's directions in a 9x13 pan. Make sure not to over cook the brownies. You want the brownie to be soft enough it will hold the Oreo mint cookies you press into it all along the sides of the pan. Once your brownie base has cooled enough add the cookies all along the side. The add an ice cream layer on top of the brownie base.

Next crush up some regular Oreos and sprinkle them across the ice cream. I tried to use the mint ones, but they do not crumble up well.
Next pour the hot fudge over the crumbled cookies and ice cream layer. Spread around the hot fudge.
Finally add another layer of ice cream and top it with some more crushed Oreos. Put it in the freezer until your ready to eat it.

I forgot to take a picture of the finished cake and it didn't last long once I got it out of the freezer. The kids gobbled it up in no time!

Hazelnut Rice Crispy Treats

Have you ever had flavored rice crispy treats? I had never even thought about tweeking the original rice crispy recipe until I discovered Pinterest. I could not believe how many unique recipes existed for rice crispy treats. I mean some people really go all out. I on the other hand like to keep things simple. I decided the easiest way to add some uniqueness to my treats was to add flavored syrup. Torani recently sent me two bottles of sugar free syrup to try out: Pumpkin Pie and Hazelnut. I already add Torani syrups to hot chocolate and coffee on a regular basis, but until now had not tried them in food. I must say the treats turned out quite tasty. The best part is you could use any Torani syrup flavor in your rice crispy treats.

Hazelnut Rice Crispy Treats

6 cups Rice crispies and/or rice chex
1/3 cup Butter
7 ounce jar of marshmallow cream
2 tablespoons hazelnut syrup

Melt the butter then add marshmallow cream and hazelnut syrup. Once these are mix together well add the rice crispies. Blend well and then pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread the mixture out evenly and let cool.
