Tidy Up Time

I finally did some tidying up that was long overdue. I had a bunch of paid bills and check stubs that needed filing. They were laying around in piles. I went through and separated them by items. I had some empty shoe boxes. I labeled them and put the sorted piles into the corresponding shoe box. Empty shoe boxes are a good place to keep your papers. Make sure to label the box with the contents and the year. That way you will know when you can shred or toss the contents.

Photos below!

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie This is so yummy!

1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups rice krispies
1/4 cup sour cream
1 quart chocolate chip ice cream, softened

Coat the bottom and sides of an 8 inch pie plate with a light coat of butter.

Combine syrup and chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high until hot, roughly 45 seconds, then stir until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture.

Combine the remaining chocolate mixture and cereal in a medium bowl and mix to coat cereal. Press mixture into pie plate, making sure to get the mixture evenly on the sides and bottom. Freeze until firm about 15 minutes.

Combine reserved chocolate mixture and the sour cream in a small bowl and mix well. Spread half of the ice cream on top of the cereal “crust”. Drizzle with half of the sour cream mixture. Top with the remaining ice cream and drizzle the rest of the sour cream mixture. Freeze pie, covered, until firm, about 1 hour.

Serves 6 to 8.
