I know that it is still “winter” for many of you, but the summer temperatures have reached Florida already! We topped out at 90 degrees a few days ago, and the best treat for a warm day is ice cream! I always like to cool off with a sweet treat, and I found a way to combine my favorite throwback candy (M&M’s® Crispy) with my favorite ice cream topping!

You can make your own chocolate ice cream topping with just three simple ingredients, and this simple sundae will be a hit in your home. I’m surprised I hadn’t tried to make this myself before, because I go through bottles of the store-bought stuff regularly. Now that I know I can replicate the flavor and customize it with my favorite M&M’s®, this is definitely going to be on heavy rotation during the warm spring and summer months!

To get started, I needed to hit my local Walmart for M&M’s! We used the crispy kind, but you can use ANY!

To create your own special chocolate ice cream topping, try this easy recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 bag of M&M's
• 1/2 a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of coconut oil

Instructions

1. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave for about a minute.
2. Stir to combine. The heat of the oil will continue to melt the chocolate.
3. Stir until smooth. It will probably appear very runny at this point.
4. Use a glass jar or bottle to store. Refrigerate under ready to use.
5. To serve, just heat again for thirty seconds until liquid.
6. Add 1/4 cup of M&M's® Crispy to a plastic bag or bowl and gently smash. Combine the candy mixture to the chocolate.
7. Pour directly onto cold ice cream and watch the magic unfold!
