I've never had caramel popcorn on top of ice cream, but I think I'd really, really like caramel popcorn on top of ice cream

What's something you've tried or would like to try as an ice cream topping?

Great question LOL when we were kids My grandmother used to take us to a place called Sizzler and they had a soft serve ice cream machine with different toppings such as nuts sprinkles cookies and also the syrups. One of my favorite things to make is called a sweet and sour my own creation. I would make a layer of raw sunflower seeds and then pour butterscotch syrup over them so it would become a sticky sweet layer of sunflower seeds. At the Sizzler they only had the vanilla or chocolate ice cream so I would opt for the vanilla but when I tried it with my favorite ice cream which is mint chocolate chip it just was a complete opposite flavor combination that somehow worked and then I like to drop a few of the sunflower seeds on top with very very light and thin drizzle of the butterscotch. I'm not very into sweet stuff but this is just something from childhood I created and still love today

@LaLumieri I love butterscotch, but yeah it can be a bit too sweet. A light drizzle is perfect for ice cream.

And the sunflower seeds actually sound amazing. I know pistachios and ice cream work really well, but now that I think about it, a lot of different seeds might be worth trying. I'm actually thinking that I'd like to try out roasted pumpkin seeds or even poppy seeds with my ice cream.

There's definitely some options there that I wouldn't have considered. I'm glad you were an adventurous child, because it does legitimately sound like something worth trying
