I made this a lil' while ago for DD and nephew. They loved it!! I didn't add pecans- kids don't like- but it was still great. Their grandma wanted them to spend ANOTHER night- and I had to send the sauce + the ice cream with them!! Thanks for a GREAT, EASY recipe!!

There's a song that describes this dessert (don't remember the artist but who cares!?) "Simply Irresistible!" My bad, I didn't have half-n-half so I used milk (1% at that)...now I can justify the lower calories as why I made SUCH a piggy out-of-myself! The whole family loved the results, though. Gallivanting the globe on ZWT 5 with the Groovy GastroGnomes can be so delicious!! This is definitely a KEEPER--and I do love praline pecans!
