How many times a day are you legally allowed to eat ice cream?
Because I went to two separate ice cream shops yesterday and indulged at both. I don’t even like ice cream, you guys.
I didn’t let that stop me from eating a scoop of Toffee Coffee and then, later in the day, a chocolate crunch cone.
What are those little crunchy things made out of anyway? Fairy dust and unicorn poop? It’s just so delightful.
I figure that even if it is illegal to eat ice cream twice in one day, nobody would actually convict me. You guys probably haven’t noticed or anything, but it’s just a leeeeeetle warm outside lately. You know, just like 100 degrees or so. No big deal.
So, after all of the ice cream eating, I totally turned on my oven and made brownies. Duh. Then I got sick of eating them plain and I chopped them up and turned them into trifles. Take 5 Trifles, to be exact.
You’ve had Take 5 candy bars, right? They’re fantastic. Chocolate, peanut butter, pretzels, caramel, and peanuts. Heck to the yeah.

In the summer, there IS no limit to how many times you can eat ice cream in a day. These trifles look great!

Not that this is helpful at all, but I am almost positive I saw how to male those crunchy thinks yourself on a blog or pintrest. You are welcome, even if I have no idea where I saw them and am currently hoping that I pinned them.
