Don't these little babies look yummy, Candy & Cream Freezer Pops are sure to be a hit!

Ingredients

{this recipe makes about 15 pops}

• 1/2 package sandwich cookies {about 12 to 14 cookies}, crushed
• 15 peanut butter cups, crushed
• 10 ounces M&M's {about 1 cup}, crushed
• 1/2 gallon vanilla or chocolate ice cream, slightly softened {Breyer's All Natural is my favorite}
• Fifteen 5-ounce paper cups - you know, Dixie cup size
• 15 Popsicle sticks

 Directions

1. You have two choices, you can either add a spoonful of the crushed cookies, PB cups and M&M's to have a mixture of flavors going on or you can just do one fixin' per cup.  So, fill your cups about 1/3 -1/2 way full of your goodies.  
2. Next, fill your cups almost to the top with your softened ice cream.  
3. Place a popsicle stick into each cup.  Place your cups on a platter or cookie sheet, then place into the freezer until the ice cream has re-frozen.
4. Once they are completely frozen, tear off the paper cup and ENJOY!  

There are sooo- many different variations that you could do with these. Here are a few more ideas:

• Banana, Strawberries and Chocolate Ice Cream
• Hot Fudge, a Cherry and Nuts in the Bottom with Vanilla Ice Cream
• Peaches and Vanilla Ice Cream
• Your Favorite Candy Bar with Complimenting Ice Cream Flavor
