M-m-m! Honeyscotch ice cream topping… different… de-luxious! (1956)

Save this recipe to whip up again and again, for a new taste in toppings! It’s honey-smooth and honey-sweet — but not too sweet.

Serve it with ice cream or gingerbread, or on cake or pudding… or, for a super sundae, on chocolate ice cream and toasted almonds. And try to keep a reserve supply in the refrigerator!

Enjoy Sioux Bee Honey in all sorts of ways… for instance, when baking cakes and cookies (it keeps them tender-fresh longer). And don’t forget how good it tastes on waffles, pancakes, hot rolls, cereals, and grapefruit. Yes, enjoy it some way… every day! For the finest honey, say “Sue Bee.”
