Thanks for posting this recipe for me Chef Potts, DH (diabetic) was looking for something different and he loves nuts in things. This is such a great recipe, easy and tastes great. I used friand pans and they turned out great! I used a low fat creamy ice-cream and I think it melted quicker than most being a crEamy variety, I will try a different one next time. These are in the freezer and the family have been told they are to be kept for their DD and him alone! I did let them have a taste test and are now disgusted DD is the only one allowed to eat them!!! They are soooooo nice Chef Potts and DH is very happy! Now when the ice-cream is being served, he can now have his own!! He can't have the chocolate sauce, but you know what he put on top of his? ........ yep you guessed it MORE NUTS!!!!
