July is National Ice
Cream Month, and with all of the hot weather we have been having, it’s the
perfect time to celebrate! Today I shared some deliciously easy ice cream treats with Sharon Tazwel on WNCN Today #TipsonTues :

Sweet
Treats and Special Favors
o
Ice Cream
Cups. An easy, inexpensive and mess-free way to serve ice cream
to little ones at your next party is to make your own ice cream cups using
cupcake wrappers. A day or so before
your party fill your cupcake pan with cupcake liners and simply place one scoop
of ice cream in each cup and place the entire cupcake pan in the freezer. Once the scoops re-freeze you can transfer
them to a jelly pan or any freezer safe container. TIP: If you have to travel with your ice cream
cups simply put them in your cupcake holder or a foil roasting pan for easy
storage in your cooler.
o
Ice Cream Cone
Favors. You can even
celebrate National Ice Cream Month in style without a single bite of ice cream
with these ice cream favors! All you
need are ice cream cones, bath salts and a colorful bath sponge. Fill each ice cream cone with bath salts, top
with a bath sponge and then wrap your ice cream cone favor in a clear bag. Your party guests will love their
calorie-free, stress reducing ice cream treat!

Just
Add Ice Cream!
o
Crazy Cones. Have fun with your ice cream cones by adding
toppings directly to the cone itself.
All you will need is a little melted chocolate and your favorite ice
cream toppings. Dip the top of each ice
cream cone in the melted chocolate and role the cone in crushed nuts, coconut,
mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs or nothing at all.

o
Ice
Cream Sundae Kit. There is no better way to thank your hostess,
welcome new neighbors to town or wow a new love than to make them an Ice Cream
Sundae Kit! Find a pretty box or grab a
foil brownie pan and fill it with some ice cream sundae must haves like sugar
cones, ice cream cups, chocolate or caramel sauce, a banana and your favorite
toppings: nuts, marshmallows, sprinkles, coconut, chocolate chips
Top your ice cream
sundae kit off with a gift tag that says ‘Just Add Ice Cream!” TIP: An ice cream sundae kit is perfect for date
night at home or girls’ night in!

Until next time,
