This easy hot fudge sauce comes together in just a couple of minutes.

So I didn’t actually time it, but can’t take more than 2 minutes to make this Hot Fudge Sauce.  Maybe 3.

I wrote yesterday about the ice cream floats we made for our Titanic Girls Movie Night.  Since I had gotten the ice cream at Costco, we had leftovers, of course.  So I did what any nicest-mom-in-the-world would do…I made sundae toppings!

We’ll just go ahead and make this whole week’s posts about ice cream.  What do you think of that?  Tomorrow I’ll tell you how to make the world’s easiest caramel sauce.

Decadent chocolate pancakes that are surprisingly healthy! Shhhh...they're packed with good stuff.

“I’m so glad you like my Chocolate Zucchini Ca—“

“I think I’m full.”

Cake plate pushed politely back across the table.

And Scene.
