Incase you’ve been living under a rock, let me get you updated: we’re moving to New York City on Friday! As in two days. The movers took our stuff last week. We are living on air mattresses. My kids are monsters and sneak into my bed and then kick me without me knowing (until I wake up in pain). The errands I have to run are endless. The things I have to clean are endless. My friends have been stellar and are irreplaceable.
Anyways, my friend Claudia gave me this idea for an icebox cake and lo and behold, it was the freaking BOMB.
Salted Caramel Ritz Cracker Ice Box Cake
Salted Caramel Ritz Cracker Ice Box Cake is a dreamy, creamy, no-bake, salty sweet icebox cake! Perfect dessert for summer!
