Choosing Simplicity... Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

My sister's kids are staying with us all this week. They are going to VBS with my kids. Since my sister, Melissa, and her husband came to drop off the kids we made a cook-out time of it! We had a BLAST!!!! Melissa brought water balloons that turned into an all out water fight, we ate GREAT food, played baseball and made s'mores at the campfire. It was a wonderful night!

I like to keep things SIMPLE! One way I do that is to use my crock pots for as many things as possible. Last night for desert we had a crock pot Hot Fudge Sundae Cake. The cake rises to the top during cooking and this incredible fudge sauce is on the bottom. Melissa brought vanilla ice cream to go with it. Let me just say that we had kids BEGGING for more! (well, I will admit, even the adults wanted seconds! Next time I am going to try a double batch.)
