I searched high and low for a great chicken fajita recipe that I could make in a slow cooker before I came up with this. The best part for me is that I don't have to defrost the chicken before I throw it in there. Also, this makes a very large batch, so it's good for big families or a crowd of guests.

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Pops
Ice cream cake on a stick, crunchies and all! The shell coating against the cake part of the ice cream sandwich gives it the most amazing texture. It's not thin and brittle like normal chocolate-coated pops, but more like the inside of a Carvel® ice cream cake. Assorted toppings (I like crushed Oreo's®!) add crunchy texture and the cake warms a little so it's a perfect contrast to the cold ice cream. You just have to try this, no dessert could be easier! Kids would have fun making these but adults alike will enjoy eating them.
