Difficult

This is a fun ice cream bar that really came out of nowhere. I was just having fun with some ingredients that are frequently used in the kitchen, and the idea really just popped in my head! Its the classic american s'mores recreated in frozen format - vanilla ice cream, crunchy chocolate glaze with graham crackers and toasty meringue.
