The most favorite dessert for my guests would have to be my own chocolate mint squares covered with strawberry sauce and shaved chocolate on top with ice cream on the side its a big crowd pleaser and very inexpensive,if you are going to make this for your crowd please prepare 2 hours before your party starts .

all you need is,
a 12x12 baking dish

2 bags icing sugar
2 eggs

1 bag of chocolate mint chips
1 bag of regular chocolate chips
1 small block of solid chocolate (FOR SHAVINGS)
and the biggest tub of vanilla ice cream you can find ( Depending on how many people your serving) .

place two boxes of graham crackers (individual squares) into your baking pan
keep them close together .


melt all chocolate chips together stirring continuously as to not let it burn
once melted pour chocolate mixture onto the graham crackers let cool

in another bowl combine icing sugar and only the egg yolks along with one teaspoon of hot water . then add one table spoon of ice cream topper and one spoon of the jam
