Oh my gosh. We all had a little bit of heaven last night as we bit into these amazingly dairy-free ice cream bars. Not only were they delicious, they were so much fun to make. Watching the warm chocolate suddenly harden around the cold ice cream bars was mesmerizing. We ate them all, obvs. I have been working on a homemade dairy free vanilla ice cream for a while, and was actually trying to ...

Whether it's the cold weather, or the fact that I have been sustaining myself on chocolate these past few days, I just can't seem to catch up on sleep lately (let's be honest, it's probably the chocolate).
