Ice Cream Sandwiches

As of Monday it is now officially summer! Even though it's felt like summer since May, to celebrate the real start of summer I made ice cream sandwiches. Besides, Greg and I will make any excuse to have some ice cream. My mom made these a couple times growing up, but I hadn't ever made them before so I figured it was worth a shot. They turned out great. They were the perfect treat for a hot day.
