Elle's Lavish Dessert

Have you ever wanted a dessert that takes minimal ingredients and only minutes to throw together but, if you didn't tell, could be mistaken for a very fancy high-end dessert. Look no further!

Ingredients

Ice cream sandwiches
Cool whip
Heath bar chocolate & toffee bits
Caramel Sauce
Chocolate Sauce
Cinnamon, optional

Directions/Assembly

Cover pan with ice cream bars. Cover in a layer of cool whip. You can repeat bars/whip if you want to make it a double layer but I do the single layer.
Sprinkle the heath bar bits on top. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
On the plate, drizzle in one direction with caramel sauce and in the other direction with chocolate sauce
Dish up a square of the dessert and dust with cinnamon.


You can make this in a small 8 x 8 pan or, for large groups, use a 9 x 13. SO incredibly delicious!

Ssh! Don't tell how easy this is and no one will know! Put any leftovers (if there are any HA!) back in the freezer

March Scriptures

John 16:32-33 

But the time is coming indeed 

it’s here now when you will be scattered, 

each one going his own way, leaving me alone. 

Yet I am not alone because the Father is 

with me. I have told you all this so that you may 

have peace in me. Here on earth 

you will have many trials and sorrows. 

But take heart, because 

I have overcome the world.”  

Psalm 121:7-8

The Lord will protect you and keep you 

safe from all dangers.

The Lord will protect you now and 

always wherever you go.

Psalm 34:7-9 

The angel of the Lord encamps around those 

who fear him, and he delivers them. 

Taste and see that the Lord is good; 

blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. 

Fear the Lord, you his holy people, 

for those who fear him lack nothing. 

2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen 

you and protect you from the evil one. 

We have confidence in the Lord that you are 

doing and will continue to do the 

things we command. May the Lord 

direct your hearts into 

God's love and Christ's perseverance. 

3 Isaiah 54:17 

No weapon forged against you will prevail, and 

you will refute every tongue that accuses you. 

This is the heritage of the servants 

of the Lord, and this is their vindication from 

me," declares the Lord. 

Psalm 17:8-10 

Keep me as the apple of your eye; 

hide me in the shadow of your wings 

from the wicked 

who are out to destroy me, 

from my mortal enemies who surround me. 

They close up their callous hearts, 

and their mouths speak with arrogance.  

Psalm 91 

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High 

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; 

he is my God, and I trust him.  

For he will rescue you from every trap 

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers. 

He will shelter you with his wings. 

His faithful promises are 

your armor and protection. 

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, 

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, 

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side, 

though ten thousand are dying around you, 

these evils will not touch you. 

Just open your eyes, and see how the 

wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge, 

if you make the Most High your shelter, 

no evil will conquer you; 

no plague will come near your home. 

For he will order his angels to protect you 

wherever you go. They will hold you 

up with their hands 

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

You will trample upon lions and cobras; 

you will crush fierce lions and 

serpents under your feet! The Lord says, 

“I will rescue those who love me. 

I will protect those who trust in my name.  

When they call on me, I will answer; 

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them. 

I will reward them with a long life 

and give them my salvation.”
