Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sundae

Baby Ruth Ice Cream Sundae

The Baby Ruth candy bar is one of the most famous candy bars. You can have this delicious version of the candy bar in an ice cream sundae.

Reese's Ice Cream Sundae

Freeze until hardened, then break into pieces and mix with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and peanut butter cookies for a very rich peanut butter and chocolate combination treat to die for. Of course, you can sprinkle crushed Reece's cups or Reece's pieces over the sundae too.

Death By Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae
