F*ck, That's Vegan?! #15

15. "Sundae Fun-dae"

If you forgot we were still talkin' old school ice cream parlors in FTV?! this week, well.. here we are. The second sweet shop hailed as one of the world's best in F*ck, That’s Delicious is Chicago's Margie's Candies. The legendary 100 year old confectionery makes a multitude of sundaes (over 50 types!!!), some served in huge shell-shaped bowls!

Visit Margie's hoping to indulge in a vegan sundae, and sadly you're going to leave with an empty belly. Use that knowledge as an excuse to try and understand a small part of the reason why it's such a beloved place by treating yourself (and some people you're willing to share with) to this giagantic Margie's style ice cream creation!! Please be warned that there are no guarantees this sundae will taste as good if it's not eaten out of a giant shell bowl.

If you had to make every single element of this by hand, it would probably take all the enjoyment out of the experience. So instead, phone in your favorite vegan ice cream and get excited for quick but craveable caramel and chocolate topping recipes!

Too good not to share.
