{Vegan} Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars

A vegan ice cream bar made with frozen bananas

It’s weird how my season cravings come on. & no – I’m not solely talking about food 😉

Just the other week, I suddenly longed for cool fall days, pumpkins on front porches, wearing sweaters and so much more. But normally around Christmas time, I can’t wait for things to get back to normal. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas time and all the traditions, but it’s the semi-depression that follows that I can’t stand. All the pomp and circumstance is gone and we must all return to our mundane activities.

But I also hate rushing things. So, that’s why I’m still celebrating summer with these Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars. I originally shared them on Five Heart Home.

Basically they’re my favorite smoothie frozen with a delicious chocolate cookie crust. Hope you love them as much as I do!
