Stock up on chocolate ice cream today for this national food holiday.  Here are a few of our favorite brands of chocolate ice cream and suggestions for making a delicious sundae at home:

1.  Haagen Dazs' Five Milk Chocolate:  Pure milk chocolate is included in this simple ice cream made with only five ingredients.  We like to drizzle dark chocolate sauce and crushed peppermint candies on top for a refreshing treat.

2.  Friendly's Classic Chocolate:  This chocolate ice cream is incredibly creamy and smooth.  Top with toasted marshmallows and graham crackers for a s'more sundae.

3.  Trader Joe's Ultra Chocolate Ice Cream:  This rich and creamy ice cream has a strong dark chocolate flavor.  Try it with brandy-soaked cherries and toasted almonds for a rich indulgence.

4.  Turkey Hill's Dutch Chocolate:  This smooth, easy-to-scoop ice cream is a refreshing treat on a hot summer day.  Serve it as a sundae with whipped cream and crushed chocolate cookies.

5.  Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy:  This new flavor is made with chocolate ice cream, chocolate cookies and swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream.
