Caramel Crunch Ice Cream Sundae

This Caramel Crunch Ice Cream Sundae is the perfect treat for the hot summer months. Add some vanilla ice cream to a waffle bowl, drizzle on some caramel syrup and sprinkle a little kosher salt on top. The caramel popcorn is the garnish and adds the final sweet/salty touch.

This easy frozen dessert is a delicious mix of crunchy sweet caramel popcorn, creamy cold vanilla ice cream and silky caramel sundae sauce.

With this recipe, you can even eat the bowl. Waffle bowls are my favorite way to enjoy an ice cream sundae.

If you’re a caramel lover, this is simple treat is exactly what you need for a little bit of decadence. I cannot resist anything caramel. I like it even better than chocolate. I know, crazy! But, it’s sooooo good.
