These bars. They’re the reason, well one of the reasons, I haven’t lost any weight for our Vegas trip this weekend. lol One of the downfalls of being a food blogger. Scheduling to make luscious ice cream brownie bars when you’re supposed to be dieting. What the heck was I thinking!? Ugh. :/
That being said, they are divine! Cookie dough ice cream over brownies, drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauce. I topped ours off with a scoop of egg-free cookie dough. SO yum! (the recipe for the cookie dough is at the bottom!) 🙂 They are simple to prepare, just take a little time. But they’re worth it! These would be a great treat to make for Summer barbecues and potlucks we’ll all be having soon! Yay for Summer 🙂
Cookie Dough Ice Cream Brownie Bars
Brownie bars topped with cookie dough ice cream!

Instructions
- Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions, using an 8×8 pan for thicker brownies, or 9×13 pan for thinner. Cool brownies completely.

My favorite ice cream is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! I am still dreaming of the Cookie Dough Cheesecake I ate at The Cheesecake Factory from SLC!! This looks heavenly…
The struggle is real for food bloggers trying to watch out waistlines! Like how can we not eat a ton of the chocolate-caramel-brown-butter-cookie-dough-something-or-other we just made?? This looks so decadent, like a dessert at a restaurant!
