Steps:
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving excess on all sides to fold over the top. In a medium bowl, combine the sprinkles and 1/2 cup of crumbs from the Heart-Shaped Blondies. Set aside.
- Soften 1/2 cup of the ice cream and spread in an even layer on the bottom of the loaf pan. Freeze the layer of ice cream until set, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the 12 heart-shaped blondies in a row and press them together as tightly as possible.
- Soften all of the remaining ice cream until smooth and easy to spread. Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and spread another 1/2 cup of softened ice cream over the bottom. Carefully place the log of blondies, heart lobes down against the ice cream, in the center of the pan. There should be a 1/2-inch gap between both ends of the log and the ends of the loaf pan.
- Spread the remaining softened ice cream around the log, filling the loaf pan to the top. Work carefully to keep the blondies pressed together tightly. Top the loaf with the blondie crumb/sprinkle mixture in an even layer. Fold the plastic wrap over the cake. Freeze until set, about 4 hours.
- Invert the pan to remove the ice cream cake. Peel off the plastic wrap and discard. Slice the ice cream cake like a loaf of bread, revealing the hidden heart inside. Serve immediately.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Put the sugar in a large bowl, add the butter and stir to combine. Cool to room temperature. Beat in the red food coloring, vanilla and eggs.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth batter is formed.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the batter and place an inverted baking sheet over the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool the blondies in the baking sheet slightly before inverting them onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.
- Cut the blondies into 12 hearts using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter with straight edges. The hearts should be about 1/2 inch thick. Crumble the remaining blondies into coarse crumbs.

SOUTHERN BBQ CHICKEN
Slow-grilling over indirect heat keeps this chicken moist and tender. Giving the drumsticks a long rub with seasonings makes them taste great. Always baste at the end of grilling to prevent the legs from burning.

Steps:
- Mash brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mortar and pestle to form a paste. Spoon paste into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, coat with the paste, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into onions; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until lightly browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
- Turn off one of the grill burners or move the coals and move chicken so there is no heat source directly below it.
- Baste drumsticks with the sauce and cook another 10 minutes; turn again and baste chicken with sauce. Continue to grill drumsticks until juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

TEXAS BBQ CHICKEN...BAKED!
Super easy recipe. If only candles came with the scent this gives off while cooking! If you're a cayenne wimp like myself, you might consider cutting down on the already small but powerful quantity or omitting it altogether. But maybe you authentic Texans want it even spicier! For deeper flavor, marinate for a minimum of 4 hours before cooking. From Allrecipes.com.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken parts for the best flavor.
- Prepare the chicken properly: Remove the skin from the chicken and cut it into 8 pieces.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Set up your grill for indirect heat by placing the coals on one side of the grill and the chicken on the other side.
- Cook the chicken slowly: Cook the chicken over indirect heat for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the chicken frequently: Baste the chicken with the marinade every 15 minutes or so to keep it moist.
- Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
