Notes
You can use any ice cream sandwiches you prefer. Feel free to use a different flavor, or more than one flavor. You can use low fat, or non-dairy if you prefer. However, you do not want a "thicker" in size ice cream sandwich that is going to overfill the pan, unless you have a deeper pan to make it in.
Let the ice cream sandwiches sit out for a few minutes before unwrapping so they’re easier to cut and fit into the pan.
You can use any size Snickers bars—just chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Peanut butter cups, Twix, or other candies can be substituted if you'd like to switch up the flavor.
