    Important Recipe Notes

    • Let the ice cream soften for a few minutes to make assembly easier.
    • Use different flavors of ice cream for colorful monster creations.
    • Add extra gummy worms, candy fangs, or mini chocolate chips for even more spooky fun.
    • Freeze the sandwiches on a baking sheet before serving to help them hold their shape.
    • If you’re making these for younger children, you may want to skip the gummy worms. When frozen, gummy candy can become quite hard and chewy, making it more difficult for little ones to eat. Instead, decorate with extra sprinkles, candy eyes, or mini chocolate chips.
