This S’mores Ice Cream Sandwich recipe is the perfect super easy summer recipe. Beat the heat with a graham cracker ice cream sandwich filled with ice cream, chocolate frosting, and marshmallow fluff. Nothing beats an ice-cold s’more on a hot summer day!
Making these ice cream sandwiches is so easy, it’s one of our favorite hack recipes. Because it’s “semi-homemade” you won’t be stuck in the kitchen doing loads of prep. You can buy everything and throw it together to create a unique and perfect summer treat.
This graham cracker ice cream sandwich recipe is a great jumping-off point for an ice cream sandwich bar. Try using chocolate chip cookies instead of graham crackers, or swap out traditional chocolate and vanilla ice cream for strawberry, cookies and cream, or sea salt caramel. Change out the frosting flavor to match. Or, for an ultra-indulgent treat, dip half the sandwich in melted chocolate after freezing. The yummy options are endless!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
