What is the “T”?  Topping, of course.  It’s an ice cream sundae party!  This is a great, easy and inexpensive way to entertain.  Invite your friends over and all you have to provide are the beverages and the ice cream. This past Saturday I had a BYOT party and it was a huge success.  The favorite topping of the night, as simple as it sounds, was Homemade Hot Fudge. The recipe is from Nancy Ferreira and thanks to Abby Brunelle for making it and sharing it with all of us.  How easy and impressive it was all at the same time.

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 2 cups confectionary sugar
• 1 can evaporated milk (13oz.)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Pour chocolate chips, margarine, sugar and evaporated milk into a saucepan.
   
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
   
3. Cook 8 minutes.
   
4. Keep stirring the mixture so it doesn’t burn the bottom of the pan.
   
5. Remove from heat.
   
6. Add vanilla and cool.
   
7. Reheat for serving.
