SNICKERS ICE CREAM SANDWICH CAKE

Layers of vanilla ice cream sandwiches with hot fudge, homemade whipped cream, snickers bars, and drizzled with caramel topping make this snickers ice cream sandwich cake one sweet summer treat!

Ice cream and summertime go hand in hand! Ice cream any time of year is amazing, there is just something about walking down the street or sitting on a bench licking an ice cream cone or scooping up a spoonful of sweet yumminess! 
Growing up we would celebrate our birthdays with ice cream cake and it was an exciting treat to look forward to! This snickers ice cream sandwich cake is a variation of a similar cake that my sister makes and brings to family gatherings!

  • 24 vanilla ice cream sandwiches
  • 1-12.8 ounce jar of hot fudge topping
  • 16 ounce heavy cream
  • 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 18 fun sized snickers bars
  • ½ cup thick caramel topping

Instructions
  1. Using a greased 9x13* pan line 12 of the ice cream sandwiches on the bottom.
  2. Microwave the hot fudge for 15-20 seconds, stir well.
  3. Pour hot fudge over the ice cream sandwiches and spread evenly, place in freezer to harden.
