Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Scrape the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and, using a spatula, smooth in a thin, even layer, leaving a ½" border of parchment paper around the edges. Bake until the cake is set, 10-12 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, use the parchment paper to lift from the pan onto a cutting board. Cut in half crosswise. Dollop the Kroger® Brand Deluxe Cake Pop Ice Cream evenly over the top of one of the cake halves and, using a spatula, spread the ice cream in an even layer. Place the remaining cake half on top of the ice cream, with the top facing up, to make a large sandwich. Line the baking sheet with a fresh sheet of parchment paper, place the ice cream sandwich on top, and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.
- Remove the sandwich cake from the freezer. Trim about ¼" off of each edge, then cut into 12 smaller square sandwiches.
- Place the sprinkles on a plate. Carefully roll the sides of the ice cream sandwiches in the sprinkles to coat. Serve immediately or freeze in Kroger® Brand Reclosable Colorful Assorted Sandwich Bags for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- 1. Line a 9 1/2 x 4 x 3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap is tucked into all the corners and there is at least 1 inch overhanging the top of the pan on all sides. Working with one cookie at a time, spread the more rounded side of 9 of the wafer cookies with a thin layer of melted chocolate and place 3 of them, chocolate side down, on the bottom of the pan. Place another 3 cookies against each long side of the pan, chocolate-coated sides facing the pan. Place the pan in the freezer.
- 2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let soften for 2 minutes.
- 3. Combine the raspberries and sugar in a medium-size heavy saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring a few times, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in the gelatin mixture. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- 4. Combine the heavy cream, framboise, and vanilla in a large bowl and, using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled raspberry mixture, taking care not to deflate the cream.
- 5. Remove the pan from the freezer. Pour all but one-fourth of the mousse into the pan. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Insert the remaining 18 wafers into the mousse, arranging them vertically in three rows of six so they are lined up with the chocolate wafers on the sides of the pan. Spread the remaining mousse over the wafers and smooth with the spatula. The pan should be full to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until completely set, overnight and up to 1 week.
- 6. To unmold, gently tug the plastic wrap that lines the pan to loosen the cake. Place a serving platter over the pan and turn over. Gently tap to release. Carefully peel the plastic from the cake. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
