Easy Anytime Ice Cream Bar
I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend packed with loads of fun! I feel like summer has officially started now!
With nothing but fun memories to be made ahead of me,things are looking good.
Since it's so hot in the summer, I thought it would be fun to share some simple ideas on how to throw an little ice cream party anytime.
It's a great way to make any day more memorable this summer and even better for when you have company. This is a sponsored post by Lunchbox about ice cream and sweepstakes from The Green Light Movement. All opinions are my own.
To get my mini party started, I created a cute little sign.
I've been loving using a clip board for part of the centerpiece.
Very inexpensive and can be used for so many things.

Now, if you're going to really get your ice cream party started, you have to have delicious ice cream.
Right? I thought Ben & Jerry's would be the perfect treat and they have so many options.
Make sure to snag all of your ice cream party supplies !
Come on... S'mores ice cream? Ooh yes please!
To complete any ice cream party, you must have toppings galore!
Use different sized mason jars to add an element of fun.
I also like to use a cake serving dish to give the party display a little height.
I placed the sauces on the table and the other toppings on top of the server.
Makes this look more fun to dig into! Don't you agree?
For an added spark of fun, I also used small pieces of pool noodles and cut them to look like Popsicles.
I also glued Popsicle sticks to give it the full effect.
I then glued these to my white backdrop!
Really cute way to go all the way with your ice cream celebration!
Do you like to host ice cream parties? What are some ways you make it extra fun?
I love Ben and Jerry's. This looks like a great and tasty idea. Chunky Monkey is the best.
I love the idea of an ice cream bar for a party. I would love to win a year supply of ice cream. I love Ice cream anytime of the year.
Oh me, too! When I lived up north, it could be -10 degrees outside, and I'd still be sitting with a bowl of ice cream.
How creative! I've never actually hosted an ice cream social before. Looks like I need to though, since I have these great ideas to use!
Ice cream socials are the best! It's so much fun to construct your frozen nom nom goodness, and then everyone gets a nice sugar high.
Ice cream is very popular in our family! An ice cream bar would go over great at one of our parties!
If I had to guess, I'd say that almost every family is a fan of ice cream. It's the nectar of the dairy gods!
I love this idea! It is perfect for these hot summer days!
I can not wait to try the Core Ice Cream! It looks so yummy! I am currently pregnant and all I am wanting is ice cream and Popsicles!
I remember those days. When I was pregnant, I ate ice cream was going out of style. I ate it like the next carton was my last!
That is a party I want to go to! I think I am going to do this for my son's 8th birthday party coming up instead of cake.
Prepare to be crowned Mom of the Year, because your son is going to lose it!
These look so easy and so good. I will have to give these a try with my family.
I have always been a fan of ice cream. I like that you used the clipboard and the canning jars.
Thanks, Robin. I like to try new things and stretch my imagination muscle when I throw together something like this. 😉
omggg! my mouth is watering. I am such a sweet fein!
Everyone loves ice cream bars. I like how you put toppings in jars - that would make it super easy to store things for next time.
The jars serve double duty. They look nice, and they're perfect for storage! That's why I like to use them.
Dawn, Queen of the Ice Cream Party, everybody! That looks fantastic! I would eat until I popped!
I haven't hosted an ice cream party like yours! Ours our more casual deals, where the kids and their friends ask for ice cream. I'm wanting to try your tips and decoration ideas now though.
I bust out this for super special occasions. Normally we just bust open the freezer and attack the ice cream like we're starving. LOL.
Your ice cream bar looks amazing and you seriously have something for everyone on it! I think this would be the perfect summer treat for my family and can't wait to create my own version!
Thanks a lot, Jeannette! It really does have a ton of options. I need that, because I'm an ice cream fiend!
If I have caramel with my ice cream, that's pretty much all I need. Oh wait, I need something to crunch on too. Any toppings with crunch work for me. Yum!
That's exactly what this ice cream bar is all about! Topping it with all your faves.
First - YUM. Who wouldn't want to dive into that ice cream bar? And second - those pool noodle "popsicle" decorations MIGHT be the cutest thing I've ever seen. LOVE it!
Aww Thanks Liza! I am craving ice cream all over again! 😉
