Did you know that Captain America 2: Winter Soldier was just released? Too fun right? So I was excited when I learned that I got to team up with M&Ms® to celebrate it’s release!
I thought, what better than a chilly, frozen treat to pair with “Winter Soldier”, right?
So I whipped up some yummy M&M’s Oatmeal Cookies and made them into ice cream sandwiches.
And to make it a bit sweeter on your budget you can grab a $5 off coupon on Captain America 2: Winter Solder right here for YOUR Captain America celebration!
I headed to my local Walmart and snagged my M&M’s candies #HeroesEatMMs . And made these great M&M’s Oatmeal Cookies that have a gluten free option.
Obviously you can make these both Captain America 2: Winter Soldier themed (as above, with the reds and blues) or regular, as below. If you are making theme themed I would recommend buying a second bag to make sure you have enough.
