Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”

This ice cream topping is YUMMY! Be careful not to overcook, and use a non-stick saucepan. I use close to 3 TBSP of butter in mine. After cooling the sauce a bit, I refrigerate it for several hours or overnight. Before serving, you want to STIR it VERY WELL, and don't be scared by the appearance before stirring! We drizzle the refrigerated topping over ice cream, then top that with a dollop of whipped cream, then top that with chopped honey-roasted peanuts. (By the way, I don't layer it like advised in the recipe, I just drizzle the topping over bowls of ice cream. And I don't use chocolate because we don't care for it.) Try it -- you'll be hooked! -Lori in WI.
