WW POINTS VALUE: 5 pts.

 

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. These home made ice cream sandwiches are deliciously flavorful. Peanut butter and chocolate make a very tasty combination. The peanut butter filling is light, fluffy and flavorful. You can also use almond butter in this recipe and the sandwiches will still be delicious. I highly recommend using homemade chocolate wafer cookies in this recipe because you know the ingredients in the wafers. These homemade ice cream sandwiches are better than the one you buy at the grocery store you will make these again and again.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. These treats are flavorful and delicious. If you love rocky road or smores, these sweet treats are for you. You can use crushed graham crackers in place of the chocolate wafers, almonds in place of the walnuts, and or dark or bittersweet chocolate chips in place of semi-sweet chocolate chips, these treats will still be delicious. These treats are perfect for a picnic, tailgate or even a birthday party and people will go nut for them.
