Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the sandwiches

  • 3 cups pretzels
  • 1/2 cup peanuts salted
  • 1/4 cup mixed raw seeds sesame
  • Vanilla ice cream as much as desired

For the caramel sauce

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows I used big ones and cut them in smaller pieces
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Chop the pretzels and peanuts
  • Roast the mixed nuts a couple of minutes
  • Mix everything together

To make the caramel sauce

  • In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil over medium-high
  • Boil until mixture is amber in color, approx 12 minutes
  • Remove pan from heat and slowly pour in cream (mixture will sputter so be careful)
  • Immediately add marshmallows and stir until melted
  • Pour caramel mixture over the pretzels mixture and quickly stir with a rubber spatula to coat well

To make the sandwiches

  • Spread half the caramel pretzel mixture to the bottom of a glass dish (mine was about 8" by 6")
  • Add a thick layer of vanilla ice cream (make sure it's slightly softened so you can spread it with a spatula)
  • Finish with a layer of caramel pretzel mixture; gently press with a spoon to make sure the caramel pretzel mixture adheres to the ice cream.
  • Transfer to a freezer overnight
