mock *B* Bars

all through high school, i worked at a well know ice cream store.
it was a little store, and we handmade all the 'dairy treats'.

my favorite of those was the *B* Bar.
every now and then, Dave will surprise me with one from our local ice cream store. (they are good, but they arent homemade.)

so what do i do?
make up a little sketch.
and make my own ;)here is what you need:
dipping chocolate
vanilla ice cream
spanish peanuts
hot fudge (though no need to warm it up)
popsicle/craft sticks
9- 9oz paper drinking cups (next time i plan to use smaller cups... these are just a bit big for me)
and here is how you make them:
put a spoonful (or 2) of peanuts into the bottom of each cup, to cover the bottom. (we only ended up making 9 of these... so you wont need a whole tray of cups) let ice cream soften enough to be able to spoon it into the cups. i put it in a plastic bag, then cut a whole to squirt it out. (like icing) squeeze a layer of ice cream into each cup enough to cover peanuts.

i used a spoon to flatten it a bit.

then add a layer of fudge.

i did the bag thing again... though im sure a spoon would be just fine. add a scoop of peanuts on top of the fudge.
add another layer of ice cream, to cover fudge and peanuts.

(itll probably be dripping by now. thats ok)add another layer of fudge and peanuts.

some will sink in to the melting ice cream. no big deal!add a popsicle/craft stick to the center of each cup.

press them all the way in to the bottom.now... put these in the freezer for quite some time.

i had mine in for about 6 hours.
(until you can squeeze the cups and the feel pretty solid.)

then its time to remove them from the cups.

i dipped them in warm water for a couple seconds, and the cups slid right off!!

put them back on the sheet, covered with wax paper (i didnt do this at first, but should have!)

once the are all decupped, stick them back in the freezer for a bit.

about half an hour. next, melt a ton of dipping chocolate.

cover each bar with chocolate.
then stick them back in the freezer again, just so they get nice a solid again. (dont forget to put them on wax paper!)

they may be a bit drippy and holey like mine, but who cares!

certainly not me :) then when you can hardly wait any longer... eat :)

if you have any leftover (which you probably will... these are huge) wrap them up in foil with the stick sticking out. And eat more the next day ;)

please let me know if you make these, i would LOVE to hear and see how they come out!!

(and here is the recipe without pics, if anyone wants to copy, paste and print it out without all those pics.)
