EASY GRAHAM-CRACKER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread 1/2 tablespoon cream cheese on each graham-cracker square. Top half the squares with pear slices, then close sandwiches with remaining squares. Serve immediately.

PB&J RITZ CRACKER ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a small rimmed baking sheet with several layers of plastic wrap, making sure to thoroughly cover the baking sheet, leaving about 6 inches of plastic wrap hanging over the two long sides.
• Place the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 15 seconds.
• Spread the softened ice cream into an even layer on the baking sheet. Dot with jam and drizzle with melted peanut butter. Using a knife, create swirls on the top of the ice cream. Fold the plastic wrap overhang over the ice cream to cover the surface and freeze for at least an hour and up to overnight.
• Carefully remove the frozen ice cream from the baking sheet and place on a cutting board. Cut out 15 rounds with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch biscuit cutter, or cut into 15 1 1/2- to 2-inch squares with a knife. Sandwich each piece of ice cream between two Ritz crackers. Place the peanuts on a plate, if using, and roll the edges of the sandwiches in crushed peanuts.
• Serve the sandwiches immediately, or place in a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 2 weeks (the crackers will become soggier the longer they are frozen). Enjoy!

GRAHAM-CRACKER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk together flours, graham cracker crumbs, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture. Beat until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out star shapes using a 3-inch cutter. Gently press a 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter into the center of each to create an outline. Transfer cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Bake cookies until pale gold, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets set on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.
• Make the marshmallow filling: Cook sugar, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat, stirring and brushing down sides of pan with a pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until a candy thermometer reaches 260 degrees, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over remaining 3/4 cup water in a heatproof bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, and cook, whisking constantly, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat. Whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Once sugar mixture reaches 260 degrees, immediately whisk gelatin mixture into saucepan (it will foam up). Reduce speed on egg whites to low, and gradually add sugar-gelatin mixture to egg whites. Raise speed to high, and beat until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer half of the marshmallow filling to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/4-inch opening. (Leave remaining marshmallow in bowl with mixer on low speed.) Immediately, pipe marshmallow around edges of half of the cookies and fill in centers, then top with another cookie, pressing lightly. Dip edges of cookies into coconut to coat. Repeat with remaining marshmallow filling, cookies, and coconut.

GRAHAM CRACKER CHOCOLATE DIPPED ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper making sure the edges come up on two sides.
• 2. Spread the softened ice cream evenly in the lined pan and place in the freezer overnight.
• 3. Break the graham crackers in half so that you have 18 squares.
• 4. Using the edges of the parchment paper, lift the ice cream on to a cutting board.
• 5. Slice the ice cream into 9 equal squares and sandwich between two graham cracker squares. If desired, spread melted chocolate on all the graham cracker squares and press the chocolate side onto the ice cream.
• 6. Place the ice cream sandwiches back in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving.
