Whether your a (Ice) Scream Queen or simply have a stash of leftover Halloween candy haunting your pantry, these boo-tifully delicious Reese’s Ice Cream Sandwiches with Peanut Butter Candy Crumbles are the perfect reward after a night of trick-or-treating. Or, devouring during your next horror movie marathon.
And speaking of scares – Reese’s is bringing the thrills off-screen this 23-26 October with an exclusive ‘Scream For Reese’s’ Escape Room at Strike in Sydney and Melbourne. In celebration of Scream 7, this limited-time experience combines Ghostface-worthy suspense with chocolatey surprises, where every clue could be a trick or a treat!
INGREDIENTS
6 Reese’s Snack Size Peanut Butter Cups or ¾ cup Reese’s Pieces Candy (or a combo of both to make ¾ cup total)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional – helps prevent clumping)
12 store-bought ice cream sandwiches
INSTRUCTIONS
- Chop the candy.
Unwrap the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chop them into small pieces. If using Reese’s Pieces, roughly crush or chop them too. Toss the candy with 2 teaspoons of sugar if desired, to stop it from sticking. Place in a shallow bowl and set aside. - Prepare the sandwiches.
Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and let them soften slightly at room temperature. - Coat in candy.
Press the ice cream edges of each sandwich into the chopped Reese’s candy, rolling gently to cover all sides. - Freeze or serve.
Enjoy immediately for a softer texture. Or, rewrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes for a firmer, grab-and-go treat.
Tip:
Mix in any leftover Halloween treats like crushed cookies or mini chocolates for a fun, spooky twist – the ultimate trick-or-treat remix!
