1

Place the four granola bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with ice cream and a second granola bar. Freeze overnight.
2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth (about 45-90 seconds on High).
3

Spread a thick layer of caramel on top of each bar, sprinkle with nuts. Dip into melted chocolate, transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until ready to serve.

Expert Tips

For easiest prep, slice a quart-sized cardboard container of ice cream with a sharp bread knife to create 1” pieces of ice cream, then cut to fit each granola bar.
If desired, freeze bars with a popsicle stick in the center for ease of dipping into melted chocolate.
