Ice Cream Sundae Bar

Store-bought vanilla or chocolate ice cream can become a gourmet treat with mix-ins such as chocolate mint pieces (pictured at left). Try one or two toppings for a casual family dinner, or go all-out for a party with an ice cream sundae bar.

Creative topping ideas: miniature marshmallows, chopped or crushed candy bars (just about any flavor is good!), candy-coated milk chocolate pieces, finely broken peppermint candies, miniature semisweet chocolate pieces or white baking chips, chopped nuts, chocolate-covered espresso beans, flaked coconut, a variety of syrups, chopped cookies, fresh fruit and whipped cream or nondairy whipped topping.
