I woke up a few days ago to a box of Enjoy Life cookies at my door. All pretty in their new packaging. Along with a link to their new recipes page.
Needless to say, we were excited.
We decided we'd make the frozen s'more cookie sandwiches from the site the next day.
As soon as I got home from work, Anth put on his apron and got ready to work.
He began by spreading out the cookies for me. He was very excited to count out 12 on his own. Anth added the chocolate chips to the ice cream, and I started spreading the coconut ice cream on the cookies to make sandwiches. We put them on a cookie sheet to freeze and even made 2 sandwiches with the double chocolate cookies (Anth's favorite kind).

Then we waited over night while they froze.
The next day we used a double boiler to melt chocolate chips and palm oil, then dipped half of each sandwich in. They had to freeze for one more hour to set.

| Time to enjoy!! |
For those of you who don't know Enjoy Life, they are a company who makes foods that are free of the 8 most common allergens. They make these foods for people like Anth and others with multiple food allergies, so they can enjoy eating the foods you and I take for granted. Their foods are all free of peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, gluten, dairy, soy, fish and shellfish.
This dessert, as I made it, is also free of those 8 allergens.

****Of note, the cookies pictured above come in flavors such as double chocolate, chocolate chip, honey graham and sugar crisp. The only one of them that is certified vegan is the sugar crisp. The others are not because of the sugar they contain.
