Rich, velvety, and decadent, this assortment of chocolate sauces taste so good. Pour them on ice cream, bread pudding, or whatever else your heart desires. From Sunday Night Foods.

Summer is a time for laughter, family gatherings, cook-outs, and campfires! Food is one of the staples that gathers people together, no matter what type of activity it might be, or what day of the week. Often times, summer gatherings include partaking in delicious summer desserts. Growing up, no matter whether the dessert included ice-cream or cake, there was always a chocolate sauce nearby at most of the gatherings I went to.  

Asa part of our series about “Why We Need More Women Founders”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Eileen Gannon.

Sunday Night® Foods was founded by Eileen Gannon, a former corporate executive and award-winning baker who turned her passion into a profession when she launched the company’s first products in 2021. The specialty food company offers luxurious, shelf-stable, premium chocolate ganache crafted in small batches with only the finest pure ingredients. In its first year, Sunday Night won a prestigious sofi™ Award for New Product for Dessert Toppings from the Specialty Food Association. The company donates 1 percent of sales to the National Alliance on Mental Illness and is located in Des Moines, Iowa.

Sunday Night Foods was created to meet growing consumer demands for clean, higher-quality ingredients to bake with at home. Each jar of chocolate ganache is made in small batches using a classic French technique, resulting in a glossy product that is filled with fragrant, freshbrownie notes and hints of pure vanilla and sea salt. The sauces can be enjoyed as a topping, as a recipe starter, or with a spoon.

The third day of the SFA Summer Fancy Food Show saw less foot traffic than Day 2, but many exhibitors were excited about the contacts they made the previous day. Somehow, I thought it was going to be a slower-paced day for me, but I still didn’t get to visit some booths I’d wanted to see.

If Dad has a sweet tooth he will love the Sunday Night 3 Flavor Gift Pack! This gift box features three luxurious, velvety sauces including theSweet + Rich sauce, Dark + Decadent Sauce and the Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt Sauce!

The Dark + Decadent sauce is robust and rich, with essence of fruit and warm spices and a fragrant cocoa finish. And lastly the Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt sauce has a silky, deep chocolate base with a savory, salty finish. Dad will fall into chocolate euphoria with every bite of every jar!

Watch our founder make our famous Sunday Night Chocolate Rum Martini on Cheddar News!

From the very first time she churned out a pint of vanilla, watching as a batch of cream turned thick and silky in an ice cream maker, chef Fany Gerson was hooked. "Making ice cream is just as fun as eating it," she says. Gerson loved making ice cream so much that in 2010, she opened La Newyorkina, an ice cream and paleta shop in New York City that drew on her expertise and passion for Mexican sweets and pastries, and later wrote a cookbook called Mexican Ice Cream with all of her tips and tricks.

Every once in a while, we all deserve a little treat to cap off a long day. Sometimes, we just care to celebrate a special occasion with an indulgent drink or two.

The intoxicating medleys are made with a variety of spirits fit to any drinker's liking. From the rum-infused daiquiri to the tequila-forward margarita to the whiskey-based old fashioned, there's a seemingly endless array of quaffable possibilities. No matter someone's preferred palate, they're likely to discover a cocktail that best suits their tastes.

The pure simplicity of Oreos is the key to their appeal; the crunchy, chocolatey cookie and the sweet, smooth cream achieve such a perfect balance that it's hard to think of any way to improve them. 

That said, there is one ingredient that, when added to Oreos, makes them even more crave-worthy and indulgent: chocolate.
