26 Mind-Blowing Sandwiches to Eat for Dessert
Sandwiches aren’t just what your mom packed you for lunch when you were little. But that could be why we’re so nostalgic for delicious filling smushed between two pieces of bread… or in this case, waffles, cookies, brownies and even donuts! From s’mores to whoopie pies and Oreos to ice cream sammies, sandwiches are completely dominating the dessert category. And after scrolling down, you’ll know why.

4. Black Plum Ice Cream Sandwiches on Homemade Oat Graham Crackers: We’re the first to admit: We’re suckers for hand-churned ice cream. This sweet and tart black plum flavor with brandy swirls is no exception, especially when it’s sandwiched between homemade graham crackers. (via Chasing Delicious)
5. Blueberry, White Chocolate and Marshmallow Panini: As a twist on the classic s’more, this gooey and crisp dessert panini is the perfect ending to a dinner party. Or maybe you should just skip the dinner part? (via Always Order Dessert)

9. Turtle Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich: Known as the Sandwich King, Jeff Mauro takes the old-school flavors of pecans, caramel and chocolate into — you guessed it — a sandwich. After you assemble these decadent treats, you can freeze them for future turtle cravings. (via Jeff Mauro)

19. Salted Caramel Brownie Sandwich Cookies: It’s going to be hard to resist these mouthwatering dark chocolate brownies when they come out of the oven smelling like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. But do your best to let them cool, because once you spread on the salted-caramel frosting, oh man… we just don’t even know. (via Donna Hay)
20. Mini Apple Pie Sandwich Cookies: This ain’t your grandmother’s apple pie recipe. Unless, of course, your g-ma made mini-pie-crust cookies stuffed with homemade apple pie filling— in which case, it’s just like grandma used to make. (via Baker Bettie)

Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies: While this traditional Italian dessert normally consists of ladyfingers dipped in coffee and layered with mascarpone, sugar and cocoa, this version uses a cream cheese and Kahlua-filled cookie to get the point across.
