  • Dip the Sides: Working quickly, remove one mini ice cream sandwich from the freezer and unwrap it. Dip all four sides into the sprinkles, pressing gently as needed so the sprinkles stick to the ice cream.
  • Place in the Pan: Set the decorated sandwich in the prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, returning them to the freezer briefly if they start to soften.
  • Freeze Until Firm: Freeze the finished sandwiches for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Serve: Serve straight from the freezer for an easy 4th of July dessert.
