 Drumstick Bars

Drumstick Bars are a delicious frozen treat inspired by the classic Drumstick ice cream cones. They feature layers of crunchy chocolate coating, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a surprise filling in the center. Here's how you can make them at home:

Ingredients:

For the Bars:

• 12 sugar cones
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as peanuts or almonds), toasted
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce or dulce de leche

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cones:

   • Place the sugar cones in a zip-top plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
   • Spread the crushed cones evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create a crust layer.

2. Make the Filling:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce.
   • Spread the filling evenly over the crushed cone crust layer.

3. Layer the Ice Cream:

   • Spoon the slightly softened vanilla ice cream over the filling layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
   • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.

4. Cut into Bars:

   • Once the ice cream is frozen solid, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
   • Use a sharp knife to cut the frozen dessert into bars or squares.

5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
   • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

6. Coat the Bars:

   • Dip each bar into the melted chocolate coating, using a fork to fully coat it.
   • Place the coated bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Freeze Again:

   • Once all the bars are coated, return them to the freezer and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the Drumstick Bars straight from the freezer as a refreshing and indulgent treat.

These Drumstick Bars are perfect for summer parties, picnics, or anytime you want to enjoy the classic flavors of a Drumstick ice cream cone in a convenient bar form!
