It gets pretty hard to narrow down the field when we select a few of those links to share, because there are just so many good ones.  This week, though, with the temperatures rising, we kept going back to the ice-cold desserts that some of our blogging friends served up.  Check out these delicious Frozen Treats from Super Saturday #48:

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Fluff Chocolate Dipped Frozen S’mores from The First Year Blog

Cake Batter Gelato from Kleinworth & Co.

Banana Split Milkshake from This Silly Girl’s Life

Mango Avocado Smoothie from Upstate Ramblings

3 Ingredient Chocolate Ice Cream from Almost Supermom

Strawberry Yogurt Creamy Popsicles from ABC Creative Learning

Thanks again for sharing your projects and recipes with us during Super Saturday #48!  We hope you were as inspired by these featured links as we were.   Please come back  for our next Super Saturday Link Party, starting at 7 P.M. EST on Friday night!  And keep an eye on your social media over the weekend, too.  We like to showcase links that catch our eye during the party via Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.  You might see your link featured there!

Which is probably why this pin from Delightfully Tacky caught my eye!  With temperatures over 100, this is the perfect drink to make to soothe the soul.  These are super easy to make and within no time, you can be sipping away your worries and cooling down the hotness.
