Ice Cream Sundae Bar - Suggestions?

[rgcraig]

If children are going to be there they like gummy bears.

I like the pastel colored mint chips (shaped like chocolate chips) and they have little white perils on the flat side (see largest candy jar in grad party pic I posted yesterday).

Uh, no, Timmy. Besides, my husband would be there and you don't want to give him anything that sparks the imagination. All the little kids would be dripping with ice cream. I can hear him now - "Cuatro!!!!!!!!" BLOP!

Okay, Gummy Bears it is! LOL!

Thanks for the mint chip idea. I was wanting to do something with mint. That's a great idea and gives more festive color than the chocolate covered mints.

I was reading that you can use ice packs, in the ice, and rock salt to keep the ice frozen longer. But, if I wrapped the styrofoam ice chests with material, it would get wet and continue dripping down to the table. What could I use? I don't want to spend a lot on that item.

Yeah, the Magic Shell is always good to have. The wrapped peanut butter cups would look good too! I already had the chocolate topping listed.

Thanks!

No, I mean the thick hot fudge topping versus the thin chocolate syrup.

LOL! I'm going to do the thin chocolate syrup. I have enough going on without a nasty mess with all the kids that will probably show up. LOL!

That reminds me - LOL! The other day someone was asking me a question at church and one of the children was being prayed for. Sooooo, the person is talking and we look at the child realizing we should pray for her. But, we were also in a hurry, soooooo.... I said, "God help that little kid", and then continued explaining what the person was wanting to know.

The person said, "Now I know where your son gets that."

Well, I am thinking the thinner chocolate will go further. Did you see all the stuff I have to purchase?

I guess when I said "kids" would be there, it reminded me of it. LOL! She had plenty of people praying for her anyway. Where TWO or more are gathered in my name - right? We were standing to the side anyway, so no one heard me.

Yes, the syrups will go further; that's true. And I did see all the things you have to purchase so I figured, "What's one more?" LOL
