Ever consider topping your ice cream with cereal? You should, especially if it’s blueberry-ripple-flavored ice cream sandwiched between two soft oatmeal cookies. Pile on the Fruit Loops, Toucan Sam.

There’s nothing more satisfying than eating cookie dough straight from the tub, but this sandwich comes in a close second. Scoop your favorite ice cream between slabs of dough for a tempting treat.
