Toffee Ice Cream Sundaes with Marinated Strawberries

6 to 8 Heath candy bars, coarsely chopped

Marinated Strawberries:

2 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed and stemmed

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Scoop the ice cream in bowls or sundae dishes. Top with chopped candy bars. Serve the marinated strawberries along side as a garnish, or slice and spoon them over the ice cream before topping with the chopped candy bars. Serves 8.

To marinate the strawberries, place the strawberries in a large bowl and toss with the balsamic vinegar. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
