At our last Relief Society meeting, my friend GF and I put together a fabulous ice cream bar we called the Piggy Parlor.The theme for the night was "This Little Piggy.....", with 5 classes.
1. This little piggy went to the market. - How and where to bargain shop.
2. This little piggy stayed home. - Home decorating on a dime.
3. This little piggy had roast beef. - Creative lunches for all ages.
4. This little piggy had none. - Fill your cup with study scriptures.
5. This little piggy went wee wee wee! - Finding joy in adversity.
The classes were beyond anything I expected! It was an amazing night filled with inspiring information and wonderful women .But back to the Piggy Parlor Ice Cream Bar.
We made pinwheels out of decorative paper and GF folded doilies over twine to lay back and forth over the back drop. The cultural hall lighting is awful so I couldn't get a great picture of the overall awesomeness. ;)We stamped snow cone cups with pretty grey flowers.
We filled large glass containers with French Vanilla Ice Cream.GF brought a book case with an angled top shelf from her home and we set glass containers of all shapes and sizes on it. Then added silver scoops and ladles.
Then filled those containers with lots of goodies likes M&Ms, crushed oreos, crushed nilla wafers, marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, coconut, pineapple, bananas, strawberries, slivered almonds, peanuts, craisins, rainbow & chocolate sprinkles, marshmallow fluff, AND.... ...if that weren't enough, I made THIS Lovely Salted Caramel Sauce and the most fabulous Hot Fudge Sauce you've ever tasted!
The caramel sauce is very easy to make. Just FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY!The Hot Fudge Sauce is also extremely easy to make and I warn you....DO NOT DOUBLE THE RECIPE (unless you're making extra for gifts)! It is so delicious and makes plenty and you do not want the left over fudge or caramel sauce calling your name from the refrigerator. No you do NOT!
HOT FUDGE SAUCE - recipe from JC
1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips
1 c. dark chocolate chips
2 cans sweetened condensed milk (Not evaporated)
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
Combine chocolate chips, butter and regular milk in glass bowl; microwave for 1 minute, stir, and repeat until chocolate chips are melted. Combine with remaining ingredients in fondue pot stirring occasionally until smooth.
This recipe can also be made using a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Combine ingredients in same manner but stir often to avoid scorching the chocolate.
***NOTE FROM Blue Kangaroo: I knew we wouldn't be able to have "HOT" Fudge Sauce set up on the ice cream table so I used the microwave to make and mix the entire recipe. I re-heated it just before dessert time and it was still fabulous!
When I say "fabulous", I mean Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
