If you are looking for a fun summer DIY project, these s'mores ice cream sandwiches combine two delicious summery treats. From the blog Paper & Stitch, the messy snacks combine classic s'more ingredients such as graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate (milk, dark or white all work).

We've seen the popular campfire confections have been mixed with a wide variety of extra ingredients in the blog sphere lately, from bacon to Easter appropriate marshmallow peeps and now even a caffeinated Starbucks frappuccino.
