Take a long sundae glass and drizzle some luscious Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce in the bottom. Top with whole Spanish peanuts. Put a scoop of ice cream or homemade soft serve. Top with more hot fudge and peanuts. Add another layer of ice cream. Top with hot fudge and more peanuts. Add whipped cream and cherries if you desire - but that is not how DQ makes the original favorite!

 Scoop up bowls of peppermint ice cream. Top with hot fudge and enjoy. For Christmas, tuck a candy cane in it for festive fun.  Read The Legend of the Candy Cane, then sing carols around the tree.
