Ice Cream Topping recipe?

Question

I am hosting an ice cream sundae bar for my Son's b-day. I have a favorite recipe for hot fuge sauce, and I will also have fruit. Any good and easy recipes for other ice cream toppings? Perhaps a marshmallow or caramel or chocolate mint, or anything unusual that's not too complicated?
Thanks!!

Answer 1

what about some wafers to crumble up???

Answer 2

I have a couple I made out of desperation when my children were young. My grandkids now thinks these are the best ever toppings.
.
#1 Marshmallow Daydream

1 cup marshmallow cream
3 Tbs. of white (clear Karo syrup)
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or with nuts)
1 or 2 sliced bananas, the half each slice to make a half moon.
1 small bar of solid milk chocolate, shaved

Stir together the first three ingredients, if too thick for spooning over Sundae, add a little more syrup.. Store covered in a cool place until time for party, then slice bananas as described, gently mix in the bananas. If you have time, just put the slices individually on top the topping for each sundae for an even better effect. Then sprinkle a little chocolate shaving on top.
This doesn't have to have the bananas or chocolate to be good.

#2 So Hot It's Cool Sundae Topping

1/2 jar hot fudge topping, Hershey's is best, heated
2 reg. individual bags of M& M's
2 cups marshmallow creme
3 Tbs. White Karo Syrup (Clear)
1 pkg. Red Jello (I like the cherry) (only use 1 or 2 Tbs of the dry powder.

Mix marshmallow creme and syrup,
Then gently swirl the dry jello into creme mixture. Do not mix thoroughly. It should look white with red swirls.

To assemble Sundae, put dollop of hot fudge on ice cream, then put the marshmallow creme on, then sprinkle with colorful M&M's. MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmGood!

Answer 4

Fluffy Marshmallow Cream

6 tablespoons water
1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
4 large egg whites
Pinch salt
Pinch cream of tartar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the water, corn syrup and 3/4 cup sugar to 246 degrees.

In the meantime, in a completely clean, dry mixing bowl, with and electric mixer, whisk the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and continue to whisk until the whites hold very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. While mixing on slow speed, carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Turn the mixer to high and whisk until thick, fluffy and just warm, about 7 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and whisk in the vanilla.
