The best hot fudge sundae in town may be a concoction of your own making at the cheerful, child-filled Soda Jerks soda fountain in Pasadena. There’s the “Doo Dah” that allows you to pair any two flavors of dreamy Fosselman’s ice cream with any two toppings, plus whipped cream, cherry and nuts. Worth trying are both theespresso and banana walnut ice creams with a double dose of hot fudge. Or there’s the “Tiffany sundae,” chocolate ice cream with raspberry sauce and white chocolate chip with hot fudge. It’s even better than it sounds.

Soda Jerks, 219 S. Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, (818) 583-8031. Most sundaes, $4.
