Ice Cream Porcupine Treats!

Ice Cream Porcupine Treats
Here's a great dessert idea for Halloween or any kids' party.

Scoop balls of ice cream onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet; place in the freezer to firm up. Insert salted peanuts into the ice cream balls so they resemble porcupines. Serve in dessert dishes drizzled with chocolate sauce. Use the recipe below or use purchased chocolate sauce.

Chocolate Sauce

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips with whipping cream, stirring constantly. Continue to cook until chocolate is melted and sauce is smooth and blended. Stir in vanilla. Keep chocolate sauce refrigerated for up to 10 days.
