Crisp Rice Bowls with layers of Blue Bunny® Ice Cream and Smucker’s hot fudge spoonable topping and topped with homemade whipped cream and a cherry!

The countdown is on for the last day of school to come and the lazy, hazy days of summer to begin! Every year since my kids have started school we have done one thing to celebrate. The bus pulls to its final stop and the kids come barreling out of the doors chattering, screaming, and shouting about school being over!

My kids race home, drop their book bags and head to the freezer! They have one thing on their minds and it’s a huge bowl of ice cream with toppings! It’s a tradition we began 5 years ago and it continues to be a family favorite!

These Crisp Rice Bowls come together easily and are ready to be filled with our favorite flavors of ice cream! 

We love ice cream!!! We love buying it, making it, and eating it! We are always on the look out for great quality ice cream with amazing taste! Blue Bunny® Ice Cream has been a long time favorite of ours! When I went food shopping last week at Walmart ice cream was on my list! I was so amazed to see that Blue Bunny® Ice Cream was in a clear container! I love how your can see the flavor swirls! My mouth was watering as I looked, literally, at the great flavor selection!

After standing in the frozen aisle for what felt like 30 minutes, I decided to start with 3 delicious flavors! A family favorite Blue Bunny® Mint Chocolate Chip, a classic Blue Bunny® Vanilla Bean, and a new flavor to our family Blue Bunny® Salted Caramel Craze! 

I am just about to head down the aisle when I spot ice cream toppings! Some Smucker’s Hot Fudge Spoonable Topping is the perfect compliment to the Blue Bunny® Ice Cream and a great way to stir in some fun to the ice cream!
