Hot Toppings


Last night we decided to go to the lake at the last minute for family home evening. It was a hot day and the lake was smooth as glass and looking very inviting from my window. We found the Baum family there with some of the Cummings. Ken immediately wanted to get on Russ's boat so he could have tube wars. So we exchanged a few kids and played for an hour until the sun went down. Darren was water skiing and sprayed their whole boat with his big wake. It was hilarious!

Tomorrow night I am having all of the mutual girls come to my house to eat ice cream and have a game night. My assignment was the ice cream toppings. For some reason, Walmart was out of almost all of the good ice cream toppings so I decided I would come home and make my own. Homemade is better anyways.

Hot Caramel Sauce

In a small pan, melt 1/2C. butter. Then add 1C. brown sugar and whisk until it is thick (about 2 minutes), then whisk in 2/3C. heavy whipping cream and whisk for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1t. vanilla. Serve hot and store in the fridge.

Hot Fudge Sauce

In a large sauce pan, combine 2C. semisweet chocolate chips and 1C. butter. Stir until melted and combined. Gradually add 4C. powdered sugar and 2 2/3C. evaporated milk. Increase the heat and boil cook stirring constant. Remove from the heat and stir in 1t. vanilla and 1/8t. salt.
Serve warm and store in fridge.
