Halloween Ice Cream Sugar Cookie Sadwhiches

Sugar cookie layers, creamy vanilla ice cream, and festive Halloween sprinkles make these an easy fall treat.

HOW TO MAKE
Cookie Layers

* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup cane sugar
* 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* Dye free Halloween sprinkles

For the Ice Cream Layer

* About 28oz of vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
* Black sprinkles
* Orange sugar or Halloween sprinkles

How to Make Them
Let ice cream soften and then spread into a lined 8x8 pan then place in the freezer.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 8×8-inch baking pans with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang so the cookie layers are easy to lift out.
2. Beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in the maple syrup, eggs and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
(You can also use a food processor with a dough mixer like I did)

4. Divide the dough evenly between the two 8×8 pans. Press each layer flat and even.

5. Bake at 350°F for about 16–20 minutes. Start checking at 16 minutes. The centers should be set and the edges only very lightly golden. Don’t overbake—you want soft cookies once frozen.
6. Let both cookie layers cool completely. Chill them for about 30 minutes so they’re easier to work with.
7. Remove both cookie slabs from the pans.

8. Place the ice cream slab ontop of the cookie slab.

9. Carefully place the second cookie slab on top and gently press it down.

10. Cover and freeze the whole 8×8 sandwich for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for the cleanest cuts.

11. Lift it from the pan using the parchment and cut into squares or rectangles.

12. Mix black sprinkles with orange and green sugar, then press the exposed ice cream edges into the sprinkle mixture.

Keep frozen until ready to serve.
Enjoy

Easy Chocolate-Covered Bat Apple Pops

1. Slice crisp apples horizontally into thick rounds.
2. Use a small bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut the center out of each apple slice. Press firmly through the apple to create the bat shape.
3. Carefully push a wooden popsicle stick in the middle.
4. Pat the apple slices completely dry with paper towels so the chocolate will stick.
5. Melt chocolate chips in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add a little coconut oil if needed.
6. Dip each apple pop into the melted chocolate, leaving the bat-shaped center open and visible.
7. Add your desired topping while the chocolate is still wet.
8. Place on parchment paper and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, until set.

Honeycrisp apples are especially good for these because they’re crisp, sweet, and hold up well after being sliced.

These make such a cute easy Halloween apple treat without needing to make anything complicated.

Campfire Apple Crisp
There’s something extra cozy about making dessert right over the campfire. This easy fireside apple crisp uses fresh apples and a packet of Fresh Success Apple Crisp mix, so there’s hardly any measuring or prep. It’s warm, gooey, cinnamon-y, and perfect for a cool fall night around the fire.

Directions

1. Peel, core and slice 5–6 medium apples.
2. Lightly butter a cast-iron skillet and add the sliced apples.
3. Add about 2 tablespoons of water to help the apples soften.
4. Prepare the Fresh Success Apple Crisp topping with the butter called for on the packet, then crumble it evenly over the apples.
5. Cover the skillet tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
6. Place the skillet on a campfire cooking grate above the fire. Keep it high enough that you’re getting steady heat without the flames constantly touching the bottom of the skillet.
7. Cook for about 25–35 minutes, rotating the skillet every 5–10 minutes so it cooks evenly. Campfire heat varies, so start checking the apples around 20–25 minutes.
8. Once the apples are tender and bubbling, carefully remove the foil. Cook uncovered for another 5–10 minutes to help the topping crisp up.
9. Remove from the fire and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Campfire tip: If the bottom starts getting too hot, simply raise the grate or move the skillet toward the edge of the fire. You want that steady campfire heat without scorching the apples.
