do-it-yourself (revised)

does anyone remember those cute little mason jars, with chocolate chips on top and the dry materials necessary for making cookies layered all cute. they usually had some kind of instructions about mixing butter and eggs and vanilla and then adding the dry ingredients from the jar. you don't have to measure but you do have to do work. it was a cute (enough) idea, but really not worth the work.
this year, i had a different idea on the do-it-yourself.

*some assembly (might be) required
hot fudge chocolate chip cookie sundaes (just add ice cream)
no need to stir or bake any cookies, no need to stir or cook (or cool) any fudge.
instead, place cookie in a bowl, put ice cream on top of the cookie, heat fudge (in your microwave safe tupperware) a little bit and pour on the ice cream. enjoy!
this was a huge hit with my colleagues.
and for those who didn't have ice cream, the cookies and fudge on their own were both big hits. all in all i was quite pleased with my holiday treats this year.
