Hot Fudge Sauce

To go with your banana splits, you'll need some homemade hot fudge sauce! Super easy and soooo yummy!

1/4 c. cocoa
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. whipping cream or evaporated milk
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
3 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

*Mix all ingredients except vanilla together in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over med-high heat and boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

Easy Homemade Syrup

This is to die for! I don't know how I'll ever eat store-bought syrup again!
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. buttermilk
3/4 c. butter
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. vanilla
*Mix and boil for about 5 minutes on high, or until it is a good syrup consistency.

*Store in refrigerator and heat in microwave when you want to use it again. (I put mine in a mason jar so I could store/heat it easily). This recipe makes about 1-1/2 cups of syrup, about enough for 8-10 waffles.

Kool-Aid Play Dough

This was really easy, very inexpensive and it smelled AWESOME! (I used pink lemonade Kool-Aid this time!) It's also nice knowing that your kids will be okay if they take a taste :)
1 cup flour
1 pkg unsweetened Kool-Aid
2 Tbsp. cream of tartar
1 Tbsp. veg oil
1/4 cup salt
1 cup water
*Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, and Kool-Aid in a medium pot. Add water and oil. Stir over medium heat for 3-5 mins. When mixture forms a ball in the pot, remove and knead until smooth. Put in a plastic bag and refrigerate.
