These super-simple, kid-pleasing treats are delicious any time of year, but make for an especially festive dessert at a winter wonderland–themed get-together. Best of all, the recipe calls for just four ingredients: vanilla ice cream, peppermint extract, peppermint hard candies, and chocolate wafers. Try strawberry, mint, or chocolate chip ice cream for a sweet twist.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Stir together the ice cream (reserve pint container), extract, and 1/2 cup crushed candy in a bowl until combined. Transfer the mixture to the reserved pint container and freeze until just firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Working very quickly, scoop the ice cream onto the flat sides of 8 wafers (1 scoop per wafer), then top with the remaining 8 wafers, flat side down. Wrap each sandwich individually with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Unwrap sandwiches and roll the edges in the remaining 1/2 cup crushed candy. Re-wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
