Ice Cream Sandwich Day Linky Party!

August 2nd is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day! 

So they say, anyways :) I couldn't find any official documentation proclaiming it as such, but Google produced plenty of unofficial evidence...  and if the internet says so, that's good enough for me!

I lo-ove the ice cream sandwiches. The last time the ice cream man came around I got a big fat Mrs. Field's chocolate chip cookie one that completely spoiled my supper in the most delicious way :)

See the picture of it in the photo? Just above the tire,  near Bella.  $3.50!  So worth it.

To observe this scrumptious day, I've got a box of the rectangular chocolate cookie & vanilla ice cream kind of ice cream sandwiches in the freezer waiting for after supper tonight. But for lunch, the sproutlets are going to be having ice cream sandwiches of a different sort, made using our FunBites Luv it!

It's easy to make ice cream cone sandwiches with the Luv it! 

1. Press the FunBites Luv it! into a plain piece of brown bread and rock back & forth to cut through. Don't pop the pieces out though, not yet!
2. Spread peanut butter (or your sandwich filling of choice) on a slice of white bread. I used white wheat here; white would've looked better.
3. Press the FunBites cutter (with the bread pieces still stuck in it) into the peanut buttered bread and  rock back & forth to cut through. Now you can use the popper to pop the pieces out!
4. Separate the heart shape into 2 half hearts. You'll see they look like ice cream cones!
5. Flip over the half-circle top pieces so that the white bread side is facing up, to look like ice cream on a cone!

I can't take credit for this creative use of the Luv it! though...
I saw it on my friend Sarah's blog, Bentoriffic!

Oh, and those other little things around the sandwiches are strawberry, chocolate, & vanilla flavoured ice cream cone mini marshmallows...
I got suckered by the cuteness & novelty of them :)
