Easy Chocolate Ice Cream with Caramel

Happy 4th of July Y’all!  I know you need some cool treats for your parties and I have the easiest chocolate ice cream for you.  I couldn’t resist adding a little dulce de leche in because chocolate and caramel are so good together.

You could add anything you like to this, crushed candy bars, nuts, coconut, and peanut butter is what I am going to try next!  Have fun with it.  Or just make the chocolate ice cream and let everyone stir in their favorite toppings.

We do that often at our house.  It’s usually a combination of peanut butter and sprinkles or hot fudge and caramel plus whipped cream if we have any.

There are such fire dangers here that we will not have fireworks this year but we will have a good day with our family.  Work continues on the ranch, even on holidays.  The irrigation water has to be moved and the cattle have to be checked.  After the work is done we will be enjoying plenty of good food and maybe some swimming.

I hope every one has a safe and wonderful day.  I am so thankful for this country that we live in with all of our rights and freedoms!
