With the amount of cookouts and get-togethers this season, an ice cream sundae bar is a great solution. Not only is it fun for your guests, but it lets everyone create the dessert they want at the end of the meal. But what ice cream toppings do you need to have for a successful bar? These are the basics that you definitely should have sitting next to your ice cream:

M&M’s – Everyone wants extra chocolate in their sundae! M&M’s not only give you the chocolate you’re looking for, but also that candy crunch that is so satisfying.

Chopped Nuts – Can you have a sundae without chopped peanuts? Not really. Chopped peanuts are great, but adding chopped almonds can also add more flavor to a sundae.

Liquid Topping – Fudge and marshmallow topping are a must! These are a great finishing touch to any sundae. Fudge, marshmallow, strawberry, and caramel are usually the fan favorites.

Blair Candy has these and plenty of other classic and crazy toppings for your ice cream sundae bar. Everyone will talk about how fun the idea was and how many ice cream toppings they added to their sundae! Shop now to get started, and don’t forget the sprinkles!

Sunflower Seeds: This treat tends to last campers all summer. As a quick bite here and there, it’s great alone or unshelled in a trail mix.
