Chocolate And Peppermint Candy Ice Cream Sandwiches

• 1 pint superpremium vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
• 1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
• 1 cup finely crushed peppermint hard candies (1/4 lb)
• 16 chocolate wafers such as Nabisco Famous
• a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop

1. Stir together ice cream (reserve pint container), extract, and 1/2 cup crushed candy in a bowl until combined.
2. Transfer mixture to pint container and freeze until just firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
3. Working very quickly, scoop ice cream onto flat sides of 8 wafers (1 scoop per wafer), then top with remaining 8 wafers, flat sides down. Wrap each sandwich individually with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Unwrap sandwiches and roll edges in remaining 1/2 cup crushed candy. Rewrap and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
