This classic nutty-sweet topping creates a truly sublime ice cream experience.

Why Try? This sauce adds just the right amount of sweetness and crunch to plain vanilla ice cream. It creates kind of an “adult ice cream sundae.”

Foodie Byte: This sauce is best when poured warm over ice cream. Serve immediately.
