How about buttercream?


Butter Icing (Buttercream)

50 g (2oz) butter or margarine
100 g (4 oz) sieved icing sugar

Cream fat, gradually add icing sugar and cream together.

Or found this on another thread:
Vanilla Ice Cream with Crushed Honeycomb

Half tub vanilla ice cream
75g sugar
30ml syrup
30g bicarbonate of soda

Heat the sugar and syrup until it starts boiling then add the bicarbonate of soda and pour onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool. Once cool crush it up and sprinkle over the ice cream.

Do you have any cocoa?

If so you could make a chocolate sauce to pour over something (fruit perhaps, or just your finger-which I have done before!!!)

2 tablespoons water (or milk for a creamier sauce)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 level tablespoon golden syrup
1 tablespoon cocoa

Heat all ingredients gently in a pan until its smooth.

This probably sounds absolutely disgusting but I was a 1970s child:D I find if I'm craving a sugar hit then a brown sugar sandwich does it for me [it's only a couple of times a year honest:o] When I was a child I also used to enjoy syrup sandwiches and ones with chocolate spread and hundreds and thousands. How I've got to the age of nearly 42 with no fillings and all my own teeth still is a bit of a miracle really:rotfl::rotfl:
