How to Make Halloween Ice Cream Treats [VIDEO]

A Baskin Robbins supervisor shows Patch how to make frosty treats for this Halloween.

This Halloween, have the coolest trick-or-treats on the block. Baskin Robbins supervisor Jamie Smith in San Carlos shows us how it’s done. One lucky North Star Academy student from Redwood City even takes one home. Stop by your local Baskin Robbins at 1137 S. De Anza Blvd. and pick up the ingredients.

Ingredients:

Scoop of ice cream

Ice cream cone

Cookie

Buttercream

Tools:

Ziploc bags

Cake decorating piping tips

How to:

Scoop your favorite ice cream flavor onto the cookie, which acts as your base.

Flip the cone upside down on the ice cream for the hat.

Follow the cake decorating tip instructions on your box to assemble the piping bag.

The following instructions are used by Baskin Robbins, but you and your kids can decorate your cones however you like.

Pipe the buttercream around the base of the ice cream for the collar.

Pipe two dots on the cone for the hat.

Using the balloon tip, pipe two eyes on the ice cream scoop.

Using the 3 or 4 writing tip, pipe eyes, a nose and a mouth onto the ice cream scoop.

Lastly pipe wisps of hair on top of the cone.

Voila! You’re done.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
