Smuckers Sundae Side

Everyone hears Smuckers and think jams.That is true.The company does produce a wide and delicious array of jams and jellies but they also have a line of syrups and toppings ranging from the gourmet to All American.All that is needed is ice cream and a spoon and you can create a fun summer sundae. Smuckers was the company behind the hard shell coating on ice cream.This is what you usually get at ice cream chains like Dairy Queen.It starts out as a thin liquid and then hardens to a crunchy shell.This was an instant hit when it went public almost thirty years ago.It's still fun to use.Smuckers now has expanded the flavors from just chocolate to caramel, fudge, pink lemonade rainbow sherbet and root beer.There's even a dark chocolate and pretzel one for a taste of salty and sweet.They are great and different if you're creating a kids cone bar at a summer birthday party.They also have regular syrups too as well as toppings.The company has some fruit ones such as pineapple and strawberry.It also has the jarred toppings which have always been classics.Try the old fashioned butterscotch with their pecan or walnut syrups or layer hot fudge and marshmallow toppings for making a rocky road sundae. Smuckers has a sophisticated side as well.There are gourmet toppings that could also be used on crepes or dessert waffles.I've tried their chocolate coconut which is amazing. It is so rich and thick, it's more like a pudding.It was good with ice cream but it can be used for so many other desserts like a sauce for beignets.The other flavors are salted caramel which would even be good as a spread for brioches and croissants.There is also dark chocolate and hot fudge.You could serve these last two with sliced strawberries or sliced bananas as a spin on a fruit sundae.Smuckers also has the syrups in squeezable microwaveable bottles for a true hot sundae experience.These are in both light and dark chocolate as well as with caramel and butterscotch,.There are also sugar free toppings, both in the fruit and the microwaveable caramel and chocolate.Splenda is used instead of sugar so the taste is still pretty true to the original flavors. Make Smuckers your go to with ice cream this summer.You can make fantastic sundaes and cones.Try a hot fudge sundae or a fruity split. Go sophisticated with their salted caramel or chocolate coconut ladled over a crepe or waffle.Smuckers let's you go wild with creating sweet treats.
