Make Monday A Fun Day for a Sundae

by Alli

Thanks to Sverve & Smucker’s® for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Mondays seem to always get a bad rap.  Have you ever heard anyone say, “Wow, I can hardly wait until Monday?”  Nope.  Those words are usually reserved for the weekend.  Songs have been sung about rainy Mondays and blue Mondays.

I think Mondays deserve much better, so I’m on a crusade to get rid of the Monday blues.  I’ve declared Monday a fun day for a sundae.  Wouldn’t we all look forward to Mondays if we knew dessert consisted of an ice cream sundae bar with all the toppings?

With my Monday sundae list in hand, or rather on my phone, I headed to Kroger to stock up on everything I would need for my sundae bar, including the best part of a sundae, the toppings.  I had already located the aisle for the Smucker’s® ice cream toppings by looking here.  Thanks, Kroger!

Smuckers/Krogers Ice Cream Sundae PartySure enough, when I arrived on aisle 30, all the toppings were right there.  Then came the hard part, choosing which toppings I wanted to incorporate into my ice cream bar.  Smucker’s® has such a variety and I wanted them all.

Make Monday a Fun Day with SmuckersMy favorite topping is caramel . . . or is it chocolate?  Decisions, decisions.  Why not grab one of each?  Sounds like a plan to me!

Smuckers®I also made sure to get some toppings the rest of the family likes, too.  I mean, really, it’s not all about me. My husband’s favorite is butterscotch, so it went into the cart, too.  All the kids like chocolate and caramel, too.

Fun day SundaeNow that I’ve got all my sundae toppings, I’m ready to create a Monday Fun Day Sundae bar.  But you’ll have to wait another day for that.

What’s your favorite Smucker’s® ice cream topping?

We love sundaes in our home and any day is a great day for a Sundae bar! In fact, we’ll follow suit and have one today!

Smucker’s is about 25 minutes from my house 🙂 The REAL place! I love their ice cream toppings and jams. I could really go for a strawberry sundae now.

We literally eat ice cream every single day in our family. Sundaes make eating that ice cream even better, though!!

This is pure genius. There is no more day of the week more suited for ice cream therapy than Monday.

Sundae Bars are always a winner at my house and I love Smucker brands for the toppings. When the kids were at home I had ‘Fin for Yourself Night’ which meant go find a left over because I’m not cooking. I always kept ice cream toppings on the counter for them to fix a sundae for dessert. It always made eating left overs so much better.

This works for me, lol! I could eat ice cream every day…except I can’t because I don’t eat dairy, lol!

I don’t usually put toppings on ice cream but once in a while, nuts and fruits are great! Can’t wait for the Sundae bar post.

Hot Fudge is still my favorite. But I love to add chocolate chips and nuts to my sundae. I love the idea of making Mondays special to eliminate the Monday Blues.

Any day is definitely good for a sundae. I like to top mine with chocolate, butterscotch, caramel or any kind of magic shell.

I’m a sundae everyday type of gal so I love this. I either eat my ice cream with nothing on top of a bit of chocolate syrup.

I hope I could join in on the fun! Sundae is one of my many comfort foods.

We haven’t had an ice cream bar yet this summer. I’m inspired now! We simply must have the chocolate and caramel toppings!!

What better way to start the week than with a sundae. My kids love toppings on their ice cream.

So, I’m not going to lie, this has been one of the WORST Mondays in a long time. And coming on the heels of National Ice Cream Day, I totally wanted to drown my sorrows in some hot fudge. Can’t wait til tomorrow!

Making sundaes are the best. I love having it as a fun dessert with the kids. We’ll have to make some tomorrow after dinner.

I love Smuckers. And I think the caramel would be my favorite topping. Though I do love them all!

I love this idea. Poor Monday gets picked on alot unless it happens to be your day off because you work other shifts.

Every day is made better by ice cream sundaes – but especially Mondays! Now I’m seriously craving some ice cream!

It is the perfect way to make Monday a day look more appealing. Out with the mundane! 🙂

I love these syrups to top off my sundae with. I think my favorite would be the caramel. I just love caramel flavoring. I like it in coffee and on ice cream.

Lots of people blames MONDAY for being, yeah, Monday. But I guess, Monday is a great day to start the week right. right? 🙂 Monday for SUNDAE is a good idea!

I love ice cream and am a big fan of Smuckers from long ago! Is there any day one would not scream for ice cream? I think Monday as you suggested would be a perfect day! I am now salivating for ice cream!

The flavours all look like great toppings for ice cream! I’ll definitely pick some of these up next time I’m out shopping!

I consider myself a chocoholic so my favorite is definitely the hot fudge. Ice cream is one of our favorite desserts and there was never a day that we didn’t scream for ice cream. 🙂

I will have to try these Smucker’s® ice cream toppings, in my humble opinion any day of the week is a fun day for a sundae! But then again I worked on an ice cream in my teens, so I may be a bit biased! 🙂

Any day is a good day for a Sundae! Especially on a hot summer day. Smuckers is a loved product in my home, we trust and love it here.

I need a peanut butter topping in my life. If not peanut butter then the traditional hot fudge will just have to do. 🙂

I’m pretty simple, chocolate is my favorite…well, maybe except for strawberry. I love ice cream pretty much any way I can get it, to be honest.
