Homemade Drumsticks #SundaySupper

When I was a kid, my Granny and sometimes my Papa would come to visit quite often.  They were my mom’s parents and are unfortunately gone.  I try to hold onto the memories I made with them, but they slip from my mind far faster than I would like.

Luckily, I do have some memories and I love when Mom tells me about our times together.

Of course, they loved food as much as I do, if not more.  They were both awesome cooks, though when they came to visit they never cooked.  Mom made dinner – tacos, burgers, meatloaf – and breakfast – bacon, eggs, sausage, but dessert was almost always store bought.

There was the time Papa and I fought over the last piece of key lime pie, though I don’t remember who got it.  Plenty of those slice and bake cookies filled the oven.  And there was ice cream.  Lots and lots of ice cream.

Perhaps because they often came to visit in the summer, or maybe just because we all love ice cream, it was frequently the dessert of choice.  We went to Baskin Robbins to get a scoop of our favorites when we wanted to out, but when we were chilling at home, the freezer was always full of Drumsticks.

We all loved them, and what’s not to love?  Crunchy cone, creamy ice cream, the snap of the chocolate, and salt from the nuts.  They are the perfect blend of flavors and textures.  I remember loving the ones with caramel stuffed in the middle of the ice cream.

I haven’t had a Drumstick in years since I’m now allergic to chocolate, but really, I hadn’t had one long before that.  I figured it was time to make a batch of my own, and dare I say they are better than the store bought ones.

I love the crispy cone that I coated in homemade magic shell.  Then I stuffed caramel swirled ice cream into the cone and mounded a bit on top before adding more magic shell and those classic peanuts.  I even picked up gluten free cones, so these are gluten free, fun to make, and so perfect for summer.  I really can’t get over how fun and easy these are to make and how incredibly, addictively, awesomely delicious they are.

I can’t wait to enjoy another as I fondly remember the summers of my youth and my grandparents.
