Fried Ice Cream--NOT

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
Vanilla Ice Cream (Breyers Natural is good)

Crunch up cereal to a fine powder (put in ziplock bag and crunch)
Scoop vanilla ice cream in nice round balls and roll in cereal powder. Place ice cream balls back in freezer covered with plastic wrap. You have to work quickly so ice cream doesn't melt.
Optional--you can serve with whipped cream and a cherry on top if you like.

Hint--don't place ice cream balls on metal cookie sheet directly, make sure it is covered with plastic wrap or wax paper. Then cover the ice cream balls with plastic wrap.
