I think smores sound interesting, thanks for the instructions on how to make them. Next time I'm out shopping I'm going to try and get the required items to make some.

And let me know if you do and thoughts and opinions on them.

I am getting addicted to these now too because of you

[Animedragon]

Many years ago when we visited Cheddar during a family holiday my parents went into a cheese shop, after a few minutes I had to go and wait for them outside because the smell of the cheese was making me feel ill .

Peppermint white chocolate candy bars are topping my snack list so far this Christmas.

I've been more on this milk chocolate caramel addiction by the lindt or the one with Ghirardelli.

I really like those peppermint things too lol I like the peppermint Lindor thingys ~

I've still not been able to find something to make smores out of, but I did find these rather nice little treats. They're a sort of sandwich with two chocolate Oreo biscuits and an ice cream filling that has chocolate pieces in it, they're about 2 inches or so in diameter and very tasty . They came in a box of 6, but I don't think they'll last very long.

Are those Oreo ice cream sandwiches?

Yes, they are, and that's a better way to describe them!  However you describe them they're very nice.

It says "mimi" on the packet, so I wonder if there's a larger version. This needs looking into .

Found a recipe for how to make your own Oreo ice cream sandwiches at this link
Simple enough, it's just Oreos with vanilla ice cream between them. 

Seems like there is a larger version.

I want to make some. I bet they taste good if you use cookies and cream ice cream between the oreo cookies.

I don't know..... I'm not sure putting a scoop of ice cream between 2 cookies is within the realm of possibilities of things we can do at home without burning something down

I think it would be difficult to burn something down while creating and ice cream sandwich. Although I suppose it's possible, most of the types of scoop ice cream I've had have been too hard to spread between two cookies and would have to be warmed up a bit first. The problem with warming it up first means it could leak out of the sides of the cookies which could be messy.  I think I'll stick to buying them ready made.

If anyone can find a way to set a kitchen appliance on fire with no reasonable explanation, it's my sister

Okay I am offended because it's been a VERY long time since I set anything on fire and the last time with that toaster oven or whatever that was not my fault u.u

I've probably burned more food lately than you have.

I've actually been quite good and somehow managed not to burn anything recently.

A toaster oven I was using shorted out and started sparking or something this one time years ago and to this day people still tease me saying I set the food on fire

At one of the places I worked we had a sign on the wall which said:

"Get it Right and no one remembers, Get it Wrong and no one forgets."

Sadly this is so true. .

I'm going to add Lindor peppermint white chocolate Christmas truffles to my favorite candy list.

Food is getting WAY too expensive. I'm seriously considering just hunting the people in the store parkinglot.

Valid tbh. I used to spend around $70-80 a week on food, now I'm lucky if I spend less than $120.
