When you put out the fixings for a sundae bar this year, use fresh ingredients for your toppings. Think outside the box (literally) and don't buy the usual grocery store suspects. Instead, use fresh fruits (bananas, apples) and berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), chop fresh nuts, sprinkle on granola, and top with a pitted fresh cherry. Our favorite for hot chocolate, Jacques Torres ( a modern day Willie Wonka!) also makes great gourmet Hot Fudge Sauce. It's a very grown up version of the hot fudge sauce we are all used to and is so good it's all you need on top of your favorite flavor of ice cream.  For a grown up ice cream dessert at dinner parties this summer try vanilla ice cream topped with fresh raspberries and hot fudge sauce - your guest will giggle like kids again with this special yet simple treat.

We love this chocolate and it's chocolatier Joan Coukas. We had the pleasure of meeting her at the NYC Fancy Food Show and got a real taste of her chocolate and her pasion for making it!
