Cheater Fried Ice Cream

Ingredients

Vanilla Ice Cream

Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal (I use almond flavor)

Caramel Sauce

Cinnamon Sugar

Whipped Topping 

Directions

Pour cereal in a large storage bag that closes - use enough cereal to coat the amount of "fried" ice cream desserts you plan to make.  In the bag, crush the cereal into tiny pieces.  Next, scoop ice cream into a round ball, make whatever size you like.   

Place the ball of ice cream in the bag, close it and pack the cereal onto the ice cream, like you are making a snowball.   

Place ice cream in bowl and top with desired toppings - caramel, fudge, whipped cream, cherries, strawberries...have fun!  I always sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top!  Enjoy!

Tip

For parties, you can make the ice cream balls ahead of time.  Just place them in a plastic bag and pop them in the freezer...just wait to coat them in cereal right before serving, so they will be crunchy.
