Summer may be synonymous with the gooey and warm s'mores we all love, but imagine a twist on this classic - something refreshing for those blazing hot September days in Arizona! Check out our Frozen S’mores Sandwich! The perfect pool-side snack!

Why We Adore This Frozen Delight:

• Easy: No need for baking, which means no sweltering kitchen!

• Refreshing: Perfectly cold for those scorching summer days. Imagine serving this on 4th of July!

• Messy Fun: Just like traditional s’mores, this treat gets wonderfully messy as it begins to melt.

• Freezer-friendly: Make them once, enjoy all summer long.

Ingredients:

• Instant chocolate pudding

• Whole milk

• Cool whip (you can make this from scratch for a richer flavor!)

• Graham crackers (consider chocolate graham crackers for extra chocolatey goodness)

• Room-softened cream cheese (Here's a quick guide on how to soften cream cheese)

• Marshmallow creme

• A pinch of salt

How to Craft Your Frozen S’mores Sandwich:

1. Chocolate layer: Combine the instant pudding, milk, and half a cup of cool whip until you get a creamy consistency. Spread this over a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom of your dish. Freeze this layer briefly.

2. Marshmallow magic: Beat the cream cheese and marshmallow creme together until they blend into a smooth concoction. Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping and that pinch of salt.

3. Stack them up: Pour your marshmallow mix over the chocolate layer. Finish off with the remaining graham crackers. Seal this with foil and let it chill for at least 6 hours. Patience is key here; you want it firm enough to cut cleanly.

4. Serve it up: Use the parchment paper's edges to lift and remove the frozen s’mores bars. Slice into 12 squares and voila!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Sandwich:

• Ensure both the cool whip and cream cheese are thawed.

• Ditch butter or spray; parchment paper is the magic tool here, especially with its overhanging edges.

• Trim the edges post-freezing for a polished look.

• If your sandwich is too frozen, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This ensures the perfect softness in every bite.

Storage Solutions: Got leftovers? Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and pop them into a freezer bag. These gems can be stored and savored for up to three months.

The next time you're craving a s'mores treat, remember that you don’t have to light up a fire. Dive into your freezer, get by your sparkling, clean pool, and enjoy this frozen twist on a summer classic. Enjoy your treat, and here’s to a sweet pool-day ahead!
