Take a store bought fudgesicle or any plain chocolate bar. Buy a bottle of peanut butter topping. It's sold in ice cream aisle, along with chocolate, carmel and strawberry toppings. Cover each fudge bar with a thin layer of the peanut butter topping. On a separate tray, take crushed cereal, like Cocoa Puffs, and roll the fudge bar in the crushed cereal, covering all sides. Return to the freezer to let the toppings set. You now have an elevated fudgesicle that everyone will love.
Another similar elevated frozen desert can be made with plain yogurt store bought bars. Melt white chocolate discs and blend with a little heavy cream to make a white chocolate ganache. Paint the ganache on the yogurt bar. Take a package of Lorna Doone almond cookies or similar, crushed, mix with strawberry puffed cereal, crushed, and dried strawberry pieces. Roll the yogurt bars in the cereal and cookie mixture and cover on all sides. Return to the freezer to harden.
Adults and kids will love both of these deserts. In fact, making the ice cream bars is a great family project. Kids may even have other ideas of items with which to cover the ice cream or yogurt bars. Enjoy this modern twist on an old favorite before the hot weather disappears.
