If you’ve got $10 and some ice cream—and we know you do—Williams-Sonoma has a summer tool you’ve got to get. Food & Wine has dubbed the WS ice cream sandwich molds, which come in meat-bearing animal and star shapes, “adorable.”
Kids will love using them to transform soft cookies or chewy brownies into fun shapes—a cow, a star and a pig—then layering ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet in between. The frosty treats can be savored right away or stored in the freezer to enjoy later.
Yeah, “savored.” That’s the verb that first comes to mind when you see a five-year-old violently inhaling one of these “frosty treats.”
On the plus side: finally, a fun way for kids to appreciate ice cream sandwiches!
“Finally, a fun way for kids to appreciate ice-cream sandwiches!” LOL! As if kids needed a way to appreciate ice cream sandwiches.
FADE IN
WS: Typical American suburban kitchen. Little boy sits at counter, staring woefully at a typical ice cream sandwich melting on a plate in front of him.
BOY: “Mommy, this isn’t fun to eat!”

How many times have we seen that sad scene?
Funny, Ken, but the truth is that the traditional ice cream sandwich is actually not physically attractive, imo. It looks cheap, forlorn and the quality of cookie is generally low. Chipwich is another story, however. :-)
I have to admit. I like this!
I’d rather make my own ice cream sandwiches than hand out chipwich!
No offense to chipwich-lovers. Sorry, Deis!
