Chocolate Malt Ice Cream Sandwiches

From EatingWell: August/September 2006

Nothing conjures up childhood nostalgia like these frozen sandwiches - but forget the jangling bells on the ice cream truck and make your own for an even better treat. The ice cream needs to be firm enough to hold its shape before making the sandwiches. If it's too soft, let it chill in the freezer before assembling, but if it's too hard, let it sit out for a few minutes first.

READER'S COMMENT:

"These were good, a little work, but great fro a special occasion. They were better the next day because the cookies had a chance to soften up a little. "
