Seriously, the Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcake is almost too much to take.
I’m going to explain how this creation is made, but before we start, grab a tissue to wipe the drool that will be dripping off your chin. You will thank me later.
See what I mean? You’re welcome.
Place a chocolate cupcake on the plate then center a scoop of ice cream on top. Now it is time to add a dollop of fresh whipped cream right on top of the ice cream. Oh My Gosh!! Here comes my favorite part. Slowly now, pour oozy, goozy Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce over the top so it flows like lava down the sides. Top it all off with a maraschino cherry and this treat becomes the perfect volcano of yumminess.
Be creative, make them as a regular-sized dessert or as the cutest, little, bugs-in-a-rug minis you’ve ever seen. 
Now, grab a cup of coffee, invite your very best friend over and enjoy the afternoon together. Or…be selfish, eat them all yourself then take a nap. It’s your choice.
Enjoy!
