Copycat Klondike Bar Recipe
Summer brings back memories of spending all day outside and chasing down the ice cream man every chance we got. I loved our ice cream man because he always had Klondike Bars for a quarter. I remember having to eat it so fast, before all the ice cream and chocolate melted everywhere. Those 2 minutes of ice cream bliss made my summer. Sadly our neighborhood ice cream man charges at least $3.50 for me to relive my childhood summer 🙁 Needless to say my kids don’t get ice cream treats from him very often. Not to fret though! My daughter and I put our brains together and after a couple ice cream and chocolate mishaps we have finally created the ultimate summer treat that is not only cheaper, but made with only whole ingredients. Another #ParentingWin!
These are fairly easy to make and the kids will love helping you out, just be prepared for a bit of a mess if you are letting them help 🙂
Go, try them now! You will not regret it 🙂
