I've always talked about my insane love of chocolate, desserts and basically anything that is sweet. I have had a major sweet tooth every since I discovered chocolate at the ripe age of two. Rarely a day goes by that I don't whip up a sweet snack or dessert to share with the family. I've been in charge of picking my little sister up after school and we love getting home and enjoying a yummy snack before having to hit the books. Plus I really think that a little bit of chocolate helps my brain function a lot better, and with all of that homework that she has, I need all the brain cells I can get.
When I heard that Mars had come out with some new chocolate Bites, I immediately thought ice cream with Milky Way toppings! These are available at Walmart right in the regular candy isle (my favorite isle in the whole store) and in different varieties. I had to pick up a bag of Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites and a bag of Snickers Bites.
One of the tricks to making any snack a success, even a snack as simple as this, is presentation. I love serving in cute dishes and since spring and summer are almost here, I brought out the colorful martini cups I got from the dollar section at Target. Aren't dollar sections the best?
As for the recipe for this wonderful little concoction, well there isn't much of one. All I used was plain vanilla bean ice cream, Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites and Snickers bites. I cut up some of the bites and placed them into colorful little bowls so we could each pick and serve the ones we wanted.
It's also fun to throw some full ones in there too, for added texture and flavor!
I chose Snickers as my topping. You just can't go wrong with this old favorite.
Sammy chose Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites...these are SO good! I don't feel at all guilty admitting that I ate the rest of the bites in the bowl.
Now we were ready to eat! Cheers!!
Now that was a yummy after school snack that took almost no time to prepare. Every school day should end this deliciously! Mars bites made our plain ice cream yummy and it was fun for Sammy to be able to add her own toppings. I am definitely going to be getting a great babysitter bonus for providing such great snacks.
