spirit of summer going into
fall with these homemade ice cream sandwiches.
Easy to make, the sweet treats are delicious after-
school snacks, weeknight morale boosters, and
desserts following casual dinners. This chocolate-
hazelnut version can be assembled in minutes,
especially if you toast nuts ahead of time. The
sandwiches are small yet satisfying; plan to serve and
savor one sandwich per person.

To toast and skin hazelnuts, spread
nuts in single layer on baking sheet.
Bake at
350
°F for
10 -15
minutes,
until skins crackle. Wrap hazelnuts
in clean towel; let steam
5-10
minutes. Vigorously rub hazelnuts
in towel until skins flake off.
Any skins that remain add color
and flavor. For this somewhat
messy job, consider taking the
towel-wrapped nuts outdoors.
