I love to make hot fudge and have used various recipes; some call for sweetened condensed milk, others call for sugar and evaporated milk, some with cocoa, others with choc chips. I decided to give this one a try after just not finding one quite thick enough or creamy enough. This was perfect. The consistency was excellent. I have made it numerous times now. I have upped the cocoa to almost 1/2 cup to prevent the caramel taste and give it a richer chocolate taste. I have also (after reading some reviews) added in a handful of semisweet choc chips. A tip to save on dishes and time is to use a hand blender while boiling on the stove instead of using a blender after cooking. I'm keeping this recipe and will be giving this out for Christmas gifts this year.

This is a really good homemade sauce, although I too wish it were thicker when warm; I might try cooking it longer next time to see if it gets thicker. For an extra rich gourmet touch, I added about 1/2 Tablespoon of Folgers instant coffee crystals before boiling. Pretty tasty!

Ohhhh yum. This was a PERFECT ending to a HORRIBLE day! Even though when I was making it, it boiled over the pot all over my stove, which indeed was my fault, because against my better judgement I opted to use the smaller pot and of coarse the obvious happened (I'm having a really bad day) the end result of this was worth every bit! THANK YOU Lisa, this was the best part of my day, my P.J.s, A bowl of Breyers vanilla with your hot fudge sauce...and a nice cold beer!!

Another tip to follow up... We discovered that if you use only 1-1/3 cup of butter, it is slightly less thick and has less of a carmelized consistency and more like fudge rather than caramel. Also, for the left-over sauce, it is not grainy and does not crystalize. Try it!

Totally to LIVE FOR!!!! I don't rate many recipes 5 stars, but this deserves MORE! This was so easy to make. The only thing I did was to halve the recipe. My only caution would be if you have a blender that is made of plastic instead of glass and pouring in the hot liquid. I had a glass blender and had no problems. If you LOVE chocolate you need to try this one! This would be great with fruit or fondue. This is FANTASTIC just eating off the spoon when slightly cooled or even COLD the next day!! I served with buttermilk pound cake II recipe.

ok, I have finally found a hot fudge recipe that I am going to keep. I did change a few things, though. I did not add any vanilla. I added about 6 ounces and unsweetened baking chocolate, I thought after tasting it that it tasted like chocolate SAUCE not FUDGE, so that's why I added the extra chocolate. I also added almost a teaspoon of salt. It helped to cut down on the VERY sugary taste. I did not have to put the mixture into a blender, it was prefectly smooth by just whisking it, it also keeps very well in the fridge and reheats perfectly. oh I forgot to add, it DOES NOT taste like carmel, the people that say that MUST be using sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk. Oh, and it was just a tad bit thin at first, then once it cooled it was perfect.

I made this last year for Christmas gifts and I already have them asking for this again this year. Starting making batches last night. I double the recipe and it almost makes 5 pints. In a double batch I use 1.5 cups of the Cocoa, 1Tbs vanilla and boil for 9-10 minutes. This gives a rich dark chocolate flavor. If you like milk chocolate then use a little less. Blending is the key as the cocoa will be grainy out of the pan. Blend it for at least a few minutes or until it becomes think and strains your blender. Also when reheating I use a measuring cup with water and put the hot fudge in the water or you can use a single serving in the microwave. This keeps the hot fudge from crystalizing.

ABsolutely Delicious!! I went to Costco and bought a plain cheesecake just so I could make this to serve over it. Sooo good. I love chocolate and this tastes like I purchased it at a gourmet store. I too used my hand mixer instead of my blender. Do make sure to use a large pan so the mixture doesn't boil over. For those who find this too runny..try using only 1 stick of butter. Thanks Lisa.

OMG!!! This is absolutely the best hot fudge sauce ever! I made only half the recipe but used the same 1/3 cup of cocoa. I also whisked the ingredients while it was cooking on the stove top and let it boil for 10 minutes. I still blended it even after whisking and it was still quite "runny" looking, but as soon as it cooled a bit it started to thicken up. Not grainy at all, perfect chocolate taste and for those who said it tasted like caramel, that's cause you probably used condensed milk. I'll be making this from now on to put on my ice cream!

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure to blend the sauce-I have done it both ways-trying a shortcut once of not blending. The blending makes for the richest, smoothest sauce. I like to serve this over fudge brownies for brownie sundaes-yum!
