Tip

Sundaes Best

When you're short on time, you can easily add some frosty fun to dinnertime by serving up a variety of toppings and sauces and letting family members concoct their own scrumptious sundaes. Or scoop up one of these sweet and simple suggestions and treat your family to a refreshing dessert:

  • Drizzle chocolate sauce over a scoop of strawberry ice cream and top with sliced berries and kiwi. Dollop with whipped cream.
  • Instead of the usual chocolate sauce, top vanilla ice cream with warmed orange marmalade and a few fresh berries.
  • For a super chocolaty treat, place a scoop of chocolate or chocolate mint ice cream on a brownie and pour on the hot fudge sauce. Add a spoonful of whipped cream, sprinkle with peanuts and accent with a maraschino cherry or a chocolate kiss.
  • Like s'mores? You'll love this! Dress up a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs.
  • Give a tropical-flavored ice cream added appeal with canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Serve with gingersnaps.

It was tasty, but the malt was completely overwhelmed by the chocolate (delicious as the chocolate was!).

This is an excellent recipe just as it is but also excellent when cocoa is cut in half or omitted altogether...tried t all 3 ways with great results

My husband is a diabetic so I did end up using Splenda and Hershey's sugar free chocolate chips to cut down on the sugar. Tasted amazing! Thanks so much for the recipe.

I agree this Chocolate Malt Dessert recipe if very good, but the malt flavor was overwhelmed by the chocolate. I love chocolate but was really looking forward to having the malt flavoring. Will make again but will omit the semisweet chocolate & cocoa powder and hope that the malt flavor stands out on it's own.

I made this pudding last night and it was wonderful! I wouldn't change any thing about the recipe. Find malt near the choc. milk powdered mixes at your grocery store.
