     I have loved Hot Fudge Sundaes since I was a child.  I learned that love from my mom.  It was always a special treat to get to go to Foster's Freeze in our little town and get a Hot Fudge Sundae! I could have eaten that hot fudge sauce all by itself, but tasting the hot fudge with a bit of the cold ice cream was like going to heaven with every bite.  Over the years, I have tried many different recipes for Hot Fudge Sauce.  I haven't really found one that replicates that flavor of long ago.  They often have chocolate chips in them and they harden too much when they hit the cold ice cream.  But, the other day I was going through an old recipe collection when I came across what is possibly the simplest and closest to the mark version of a hot fudge sauce that I have ever tried.  The beauty of this recipe is that I already had everything for it available in my kitchen staples! So, I put my baby granddaughter in her highchair and we got busy making it! It made a nice good sized batch,  cost very little and the taste is great! I immediately spooned some over a bowl of my favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream, which it melted down the sides of, then squirted on some whipped cream. I tasted it and pronounced it good!  (Look up at the top picture and see the goodness that I am describing!)
     So, after making this delightful treat, which believe me is a relief to eat during our terribly hot summer, I started wondering what types of toppings my family loves best on their ice cream.  Isn't it weird that after all of these years I don't really know!  So, today for Friday Faves, the question is, "What is your favorite ice cream topping?"
I polled my family and here are the answers I received:
     I was surprised when Alicia answered that her favorite topping is Gummy Bears!  I guess she likes something a little chewy to go  with her smooth ice cream. She followed that up with sprinkles. I always have lots of those on hand in my Hot Cocoa Bomb Supplies. 
     Maddy says she loves brownie bites and cookie dough bits sprinkled on her sundaes!  I have to agree that those are delicious! 
     My DIL Korina likes the chocolate that forms a shell on the ice cream when it hits the cold.  Smucker's Magic Shell is available in a 4 pack from Amazon! Her husband, my oldest son Aaron, predictably answered with Bacon Bits as his choice!  
        My other DIL, Jessica, likes good ol' Hershey's chocolate syrup! My husband feels the same.

    Lindsey has similar taste to me and chose Hot Fudge Sauce first, but when I told her that she had to choose something different from me, she followed up with strawberries and whipped cream!  I like both of those as well, so I think we would have a lot of fun planning an Ice Cream Sundae Party and choosing all of the things that we love!

     Do you like my ice cream dishes?  I bought them in Switzerland when my husband and I were living in Germany during his army years. But, here are some cute ones! 
     What are your favorite toppings?  Have you tried Bacon Bits?  That salty sweet taste might be pretty good, I do like bacon on donuts.  Let us know in the comments!
