peppermint s'mores!

I am in love with all things peppermint...I buy peppermint gum, peppermint toothpaste, peppermint lotion, peppermint chapstick {it's the best! especially if you like cool colored lips :)} and even peppermint candies...LOVE these, they are so soft and melt in your mouth! And I really buy these ALL year round! But, we have kind of started a little family tradition with my parents to serve peppermint icecream with home made hot fudge sauce around Christmas time. And seriously I just can't wait for this stuff to get on the shelves this time of year. So, the other night while grocery shopping I spotted it and got way excited but knew I couldn't wait to make the hot fudge sauce, so while staggering around another aisle I came upon these. I knew I had to make something, knowing that I couldn't go wrong with peppermint! {with or without the hot fudge sauce}...And voila!

An easy, cheap, tasty treat!! My kids called them s'mores, not only because of the grahams but because the icecream looked fluffly like marshmallows!{that may depend on the kind you buy, this is what I like}. And even though we scarfed them down fast this time, next time I make them I will try drizzling them with the hot fudge sauce and adding a dollop of whipped cream on top! I think it would make a great easy, seasonal dessert for any party!! YUMMY!
