    Makes 6 servings

    Note: We tested with General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

    The Scoop

    Give these versatile truffles your own spin by using different flavors of ice cream, like chocolate, cinnamon, or butter pecan.

    COFFEE ICE CREAM BITES

    These individual treats can stay in your freezer for when you need a late afternoon pick-me-up. For a party, just fill a tray with ice, and arrange these bonbons in candy wrappers over the ice.

    Makes 24 servings

    Hands-on Time 25 min.

    Total Time 2 hours, 25 min.

    1½ cups coffee ice cream

    Parchment paper

    1 (7.25-oz.) bottle chocolate ice-cream shell topping

    ½ cup chocolate-coated coffee beans, crushed

    1. Scoop ice cream into 1¼-inch balls using a small ice-cream or cookie scoop; place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze 1 hour.

    2. Remove 4 ice-cream balls from freezer, and place on a wire rack in a jelly-roll pan. Shake ice-cream shell topping, and squeeze over ice-cream balls, coating top and sides completely. Immediately sprinkle with crushed coffee beans. Return to freezer. Repeat procedure with remaining ice-cream balls, shell topping, and crushed coffee beans. Freeze 1 hour or until firm. Serve immediately, or store ice-cream balls in a zip-top plastic bag in the freezer.

    MINI ICE CREAM PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

    Makes 12 servings

    Hands-on Time 15 min.

    ⅓ cup vanilla ice cream, softened

    3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter

    Miniature paper baking cups

    ¼ cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts

    1 (7.25-oz.) bottle chocolate ice-cream shell topping

    Parchment paper

    1. Stir together ice cream and peanut butter in a small bowl; freeze 10 minutes.

    2. Place paper baking cups into 12 miniature muffin cups. Spoon ½ tsp. peanuts into each cup, and top with 1 tsp. shell topping. Freeze 5 minutes.

    3. Quickly spoon ice-cream mixture into each cup; drizzle shell topping evenly over ice cream, coating completely. Immediately sprinkle remaining peanuts over shell topping; freeze 1 hour or until firm. Serve immediately, or layer between sheets of parchment paper or wax paper in an airtight container, and store in freezer up to 1 month.

    ICE CREAM BOURBON BALLS

    Makes 34 balls

    Hands-on Time 21 min.

    Total Time 7 hours, 51 min.

    2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

    ½ cup toasted finely chopped pecans

    3 Tbsp. bourbon or whiskey

    30 vanilla wafers, finely crushed (about 1 cup)

    Parchment paper

    2 (8-oz.) packages semisweet chocolate baking squares, chopped

    1. Stir together first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Freeze 6 hours or until firm.

    2. Scoop ice-cream mixture into 34 (1¼-inch) balls using a small ice-cream or cookie scoop. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze 1 hour.

    3. Microwave 8 oz. chocolate in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 to 1½ minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Cool 5 minutes or until barely warm.

    4. Remove 4 ice-cream balls from freezer. Quickly dip balls, 1 at a time, into melted chocolate using a fork and allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Immediately place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in freezer. Repeat procedure with remaining melted chocolate, dipping 17 ice-cream balls.

    5. Microwave remaining 8 oz. chocolate in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 to 1½ minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Cool 5 minutes or until barely warm. Repeat dipping procedure, 4 balls at a time, with melted chocolate and remaining 17 ice-cream balls. Freeze 30 minutes or until firm. Serve immediately, or store ice-cream balls in a zip-top plastic bag in freezer.

    The Scoop

    To keep the melted chocolate from getting too cool for dipping, only melt half at a time. The key to success here is only removing about 4 ice-cream balls from the freezer at one time.

Immediately place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with almonds and reserved toasted coconut. Place in freezer. Repeat with remaining ice-cream balls, chocolate, almonds, and coconut. Freeze 30 minutes or until firm. Serve immediately, or store in a zip-top plastic bag in freezer.
