The longer you are a parent, the more little tricks you pick up, right? And with each child, you become a better parent. At least that is definitely the case for me. So learning what works and what doesn’t work, and when, is something that is extremely helpful when dealing with a child who is experiencing some emotions, good or bad. And food is sometimes all it takes, especially a yummy, easy-to-make dessert like this sundae.
I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this and knew his mood would change in an instant the second he stuck the spoon in his mouth. It totally worked. I made sure it was simple and fun. We all know there are many ways to build a sundae, but for this one, I layered it with some brownies, peanut butter ice cream (yum!), chopped salted caramel peanuts (ridiculously YUM!), hot fudge sauce, some whipped cream, and Cole’s favorite – a cherry on top.
And watching Cole devour this with a face covered in ice cream and fudge, I couldn’t help but smile. Moments like that are the little ones I always cherish and remember. Plus, I got to use my torch.
