A modern take on old-fashioned ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cone "drumsticks." For a rich, satisfying but lower-fat dessert, serve the delicious chocolate sorbet on its own without mixing in the peanut butter cup candies.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk first 4 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil, whisking frequently. Pour into bowl. Chill until cold. Transfer to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to container; mix in peanut butter candies. Freeze overnight.
Step 2
Line cookie sheet with foil. Sandwich 1/3 cup sorbet between flat sides of 2 cookies, pressing slightly to bring sorbet to edge of sandwich; smooth sides. Place on cookie sheet and freeze. Repeat with remaining sorbet and cookies. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
Step 3
Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from over water. Working quickly, roll sides of sandwich in warm chocolate, turning to coat sides only. Roll coated sides in chopped nuts. Return sandwich to same cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, melted chocolate and chopped nuts. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Wrap tightly.)
