Another summer day, another awesome grilling recipe! Once again it’s way too hot here to cook inside so I took to the grill for these yummy potatoes.

A while ago I came across some packaged York peppermint patty baking bits which I’ve been squirreling away.

I decided that they’d make a great add in to some creamy vanilla homemade ice cream.
