C.C. Brown’s Hot Fudge Sauce At Five Crowns

C.C. Brown’s Hot Fudge Sauce, favored by Hollywood celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Bob Hope, John Travolta, Michael J. Fox, and Kirk Douglas, was created by Clarence Clifton Brown (C.C. Brown) in 1922 and is now available at Five Crowns in Corona del Mar for $7.50 per 10-ounce jar and online here. It’s a perfect gourmet gift for holiday giving.

Up until 1996, C.C. Brown’s Hollywood Boulevard ice cream shop near Grauman’s (now Mann’s) Chinese Theater served a unique hot fudge sundae rumored to have been the nation’s first.  Lawry’s now owns the brand, a legendary company that’s celebrated more than 100 years of satisfying sweet cravings.

It’s also used in Five Crowns signature Hot Fudge Sundae ($8.50) featuring hand-chopped roasted almonds and whipped cream layered atop Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream. 3801 E. Coast Highway in Corona del Mar. 949.760.0331.
