THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE SUNDAE

Mum and Dad both loved ice cream, so Mum made a lots of varieties.  She added cherry ripe bars and nuts, chocolate mint bars and a lot flavours to plain ice cream, but I don’t think she ever made this super chocolate one.  Chocolate ice cream, mars bars, milk choc bits, white choc bits and dark chocolate – a chocolate lover’s dream I think.
