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.
