### How to Make Them
1. **Prepare the ice cream base:** Soften the ice cream just enough to scoop and shape. Using a mold or by hand, form the ice cream into bar shapes and insert sticks. Freeze until firm.
2. **Melt the chocolate:** Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
3. **Dip the bars:** Quickly dip each frozen bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Add toppings immediately if desired.
4. **Freeze again:** Place the coated bars on parchment paper and freeze until the chocolate hardens.
5. **Enjoy!** Serve your homemade chocolate-covered ice cream bars whenever the craving strikes.

### Tips for Success
* Work quickly when dipping to prevent the ice cream from melting.
* Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
* For extra crunch, mix a little coconut oil into the melted chocolate — it helps the shell harden beautifully.
* Get creative with toppings to suit your mood or occasion.
