Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert
Let’s get a few things straight: I’m not a big fan of Cool Whip or any packaged, ready-to-eat foods, I don’t normally take the easy way out when putting together desserts, but I’ve come to realize that sometimes taking the easy way out works out really, really well. With that in mind, I present to you my favorite frozen dessert recipe: this Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert. It’s the perfect sort of recipe for a summer party. It makes a TON… a good 24 to 36 servings to be exact, depending on how big you make your slices and it’s perhaps the easiest, most-decadent dessert you’ll ever make.
🛒Ingredients needed:
- 9×13″ deep-dish disposable foil pan
- frozen ice cream sandwiches
- Cool Whip
- caramel and chocolate sauces
- Heath or toffee bits
- Heath or Skor candy bars
✏️How to make Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
- Spray the foil pan with cooking spray. Place 12 ice cream sandwiches side-by-side in the bottom of the pan.
- Spread one tub of Cool Whip over the top of the ice cream sandwiches. Drizzle caramel and chocolate syrups over the top of the Cool Whip and then sprinkle with the toffee bits. Place the dessert in the freezer for about an hour.
- Place a 2nd layer of 12 ice cream sandwiches on top of the toffee bits. Spread with a 2nd tub of Cool Whip. Drizzle caramel and chocolate syrup over the Cool Whip. Sprinkle the chopped Skor/Heath bars over the top. Place the dessert in the freezer for several hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, remove from freezer and use sharp knife to cut into squares. Drizzle more chocolate and caramel onto individual servings, if desired.
➡️Recipe Tips:
- You need to be sure to plan ahead when making this dessert. You want to give it several hours in the freezer after assembling it because everything needs to firm up a bit.
- If toffee isn’t your thing, you could try using a different type of candy. I think Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with peanut butter chips could be delicious.
- The deep foil pan is a necessity. Your normal 9×13″ pan just won’t be deep enough to hold all the delicious layers.
✔️What to do with Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert:
- Obviously, this is the perfect ending to a summer barbecue. It’s delicious, decadent and impressive enough to serve up at a party. We slice this up and put it into plastic cups for easy serving. Put all of the cups on a large tray and pass them around to guests, who will snatch them up eagerly!
- If you’re having a smaller gathering, divide the ingredients in half and make in two smaller pans. You’ll have one for your family and you can share the other with neighbors or friends.
- Since this is a hit with kids, too, think about serving it up at a birthday party instead of the traditional cake.
★How to Store:
Store this dessert in the freezer, of course!
❤️Why I love this recipe:
- I love that this Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert is always a huge hit.
- The first time I served this recipe at a party, my guests asked about how to make it it. You should have seen the looks of amazement on their faces when I explained the process of putting it together. People love easy recipes like this and so do I!
- I’ve been a toffee lover since I was a little kid. Heath bars, Almond Roca, Skor Bars… I love them all, so this recipe is a treasure for me.

We loved your recipe! Thanks so much!
The perfect summer treat! Delicious ice cream sandwich dessert.
Oh my gosh! This was sinful in all the right ways!
Wow – be still my heart! This is brilliant – and a little dangerous 😉 A must try for our next summer party!
This is the BOMB!!! I’ve been making mini loaf pan sized yummies by just cutting down the servings. It comes together quickly, there’s at least 3 servings in a small pan and it’s perfect for a ‘family of one.’ Thanks so much!
Can you use real whipping cream in place of cool whip?
yes, you definitely can… it just freezes a little weird. I’ve done it before, and I think it’s ok.
when you cut in half, do you just make it one layer? Or do you put it in a smaller deep pan and have 2 layers ?
Did you watch the recipe video? It shows you how it’s done 🙂
Love your recipes!! Thanks!
I make this but use crushed up peanut butter cups instead of the heath bars and bits.
Adult ice cream dessert alert! Blend Bailey’s, Kahlua, Frangelico, and even Cointreau (or any liquor combo you enjoy) and add as a sauce-y layer when preparing. Big kids will enjoy your creativity…sorry, not for the little ones!
