Bring cream, corn syrup* (See Notes below), brown sugar, cocoa powder, optional salt, and half the chopped chocolate to a boil in a 1 to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and cook at a low boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Turn off the heat and add butter, vanilla,...

Turn off the heat and add butter, vanilla, remaining chocolate, and stir until smooth. Cool slightly before serving.

Cooled sauce can be stored in a jar...

Cooled sauce can be stored in a jar with a lid or in airtight container in the refrigerator for many weeks (recipe source says 1 week but I think that’s very conservative). I store mine for up to 1 week at room temperature; do as you’re comfortable with. Reheat sauce before using by placing the desired portion in a microwave-safe bowl and heating for about 10 to 15 seconds, or reheat on the stovetop.

This is a recipe that’s jam-packed with nostalgia, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser too! It's perfect for kids, and kids-at-heart (including my dessert-crazy husband.)

My Mom's Homemade Hot Fudge

Tbsp butter

baking chocolate

sugar

tsp salt

evaporated milk

Melt the butter and baking chocolate together in a double boiler. (Or you can use the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until melted.)

When the butter and chocolate have melted together, gradually stir in the sugar. Then stir in the salt.

Next, very slowly add the evaporated milk while stirring. Mix well.

Add the vanilla extract, and continue to stir until the mixture thickens up a bit.

Remove from the stove and use warm, or store in an airtight container for up to one week. The hot fudge will thicken as it cools, so you may need to reheat in a double boiler or your microwave before using it from the fridge.

Pour it over your favorite kind of ice cream, and dig in!

This Easy Hot Fudge Sauce is rich, velvety, and irresistibly chocolatey—ready in just 5 minutes! It&#039;s the perfect topping for ice cream, brownies, or any dessert craving a decadent chocolate drizzle. Makes about 1 cup of fudge.
