5 Recipes to Take Your Klondike Bars to the Next Level
2. Ice Cream Cake
We love cake, and we love Klondike bars — so why not bring them together? For this easy, no-bake ice cream cake, start by lining a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper. Arrange three Klondike bars inside. Spread a layer of whipped topping over them and drizzle with caramel sauce. Then, add another layer of three Klondike bars, topped with more whipped topping and caramel.
Cover with foil and freeze for 1-2 hours. Once frozen, gently flip the cake over and slice, or serve directly from the dish.
PS. You can also make this recipe with our Classic Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches.
4. Ice Cream Fondue
If ‘fondue’ makes you think of cheese, let us change your mind. Introducing the ice cream fondue, aka the ultimate dessert experience.
Start by adding a few scoops of your favorite ice cream to a bowl. We recommend classic Breyers Homemade Vanilla for this. Chop your favorite Klondike bars into bite-sized pieces and set them on a chopping board. Add a selection of cookies, marshmallows, candy, pretzels, and a sweet sauce (whether that’s caramel, chocolate or strawberry). Dip the treats into the melting ice cream and sauces to enjoy the ultimate sweetness overload.
And when you’ve finished your dessert masterpiece, feel free to have some fun with the silver wrappers (whether you decide to play foil football or turn them into a source of endless entertainment for your cat, the possibilities are endless).
