Wine, witchcraft and wicked indulgence.

My best friend is at uni this year, and she lives on campus about 3 hours outside of Sydney. It's strange and sometimes heartbreaking not having her around but when she's back, we always make up for lost time. I've never been a party-animal, nor do I want to be, but by jove I do know how to have a night in. We ordered thai takeaway, watched the latest Harry Potter and made dark chocolate and peanut butter fudge sauce, my best friend's specialty. We did have wine, as mentioned in the title, but it was possibly the worst red I'd ever had.... trust me to take the most heinous tasting bottle from my dad's wine-cellar.  We scooped up huge balls of ice-cream, and drowned them in the fudge sauce, sprinkling them with salted peanuts. It is absolute heaven, and I can not imagine a better way to spend an evening. 


This is the recipe for it: (it's creator is Nigella Lawson, the coolest lady on telly)

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter 
• 4 scoops toffee or caramel ice cream
• 4 scoops chocolate ice cream
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup salted peanuts, roughly chopped or left whole to taste

Directions

Put all the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and peanut butter into a saucepan and put it on the heat to melt, stirring occasionally. In about 2 minutes you should have your sauce ready. When everything has melted add 3 to 4 tablespoons of boiling water to thin the sauce.

Get out 4 sundae glasses and put a scoop of toffee or caramel ice cream in each, followed by 1 of the chocolate and then another of vanilla.

Pour over some chocolate peanut butter fudge sauce and sprinkle with salted peanuts.
