Recipe Introduction
"Truth be told, ice cream is my all-time, day-in and day-out guilty pleasure. But I can never keep it in the house, because the kids eat it all immediately. It's the only treat I covet that I can't hide from them. Cookies are in the sock drawer, chocolate bars in the produce crisper, but there's just no place for ice cream except the freezer. So, sundae making is a planned activity that I love. As for this chocolate sauce, I could (and do) eat spoonfuls of it straight out of the fridge for a chocolate fix."
