To me, hot fudge sauce is the best of all ice cream toppings; it was one of the three I made for my ice cream party last week. I am a chocolate lover so I might be biased but if I could share a spoonful of this sauce with you right now, I know you would find it difficult to disagree. Growing up on a menu of homemade food has spoiled most pre-made or prepared food for me (thank you, Mom). :) When I have a hankerin’ for something, I actually have to work for the satisfaction. This is to say that if you do make this, and you most definitely should, I am warning you that all other hot fudge sauces will pale in comparison from here on out. It’s thick and smooth and velvety and oh so chocolatey. I love watching the sauce melt canals into the ice cream. And really, the melting properties give you all the more reason to devour the ice cream immediately and speedily.
This hot fudge sauce is one of those items that isn’t safe once it’s been made. Not only is it a topping for any flavor of ice cream but it’s good over cake and cookies and fabulous dip for berries or cake cubes. It is also amazing licked right from a spoon. It’s always interesting to see how many spoon-shaped scoop impressions appear throughout the day (or night). So, be on the safe side. Make a double batch and always keep the ingredients on hand.

Dear Amy-
Thank you so much for the Hot Fudge recipe. I cannot wait to try it. I have 2 questions for you…
1. How much vanilla?
2. How many jam jars would 1 batch fill?
Where is the recipe? I am not able to view the recipe. Could you please e-mail me the recipe. Thank you! :)
I hate to be a bother, but I am unable to view the recipe. I don’t know if there is something wrong with my computer or what. I hope i’m not asking too much, but could you e-mail me the recipe. Thanks!! :)
