This was the hit of the night, although I thought it much too sweet. I even added more cocoa, less sugar. Too sweet for me but I will make it again with even less sugar.

We followed the recipe as written, and it was VERY good! I wish I'd scaled down the recipe, though, because I was making it for just two of us, and it didn't save very well!

This sauce is fabulous, just like when I was young. Can someone help me? I have made this twice now, and have had problems with crystallization after putting the sauce in the refrigerator.

This was a pretty good recipe but I found that it was too sweet and too saucy. So I cut back the butter to 1/2 cup and the sugar to 2 cups. I think next time I'll up the cocoa to 1/2 cup and see if it's a little more rich and fudge-like. Otherwise a good recipe. Oh, I added a little salt too, 1/4 tsp.

I followed the directions exactly. Only using a hand mixer instead of a blender at the end. I won't ever have to buy the expensive store bought stuff again!

Ooooooooooh... the reviewer that said you could just eat this with a spoon was absolutely right. 4 stars because it definitely needed a bit of revision: like other reviewers, I added more chocolate (1.5 oz. of unsweetened Baker's chocolate) to deepen the color/flavor. I also added a teaspoon of salt, which is IMPERATIVE. I didn't add it until I tasted the sauce at the end and then realized I needed to put it in to bring out the chocolate. I used light margarine in place of butter and would certainly do so again. This sauce is lovely and rich, and I can't wait to have it over ice cream!

Mmmmm, good. I doubled the cocoa and (inadvertently) used 1/2 cup less sugar than called for and it was just a quarter step away from perfect. Next time I'm going to add some instant coffee crystals to see if I can nudge it that quarter step into perfection.

What a great recipe! My family enjoyed this tonight with our vanilla ice cream. I can't wait to try it with a brownie or warm chocolate chip cookie and ice cream next time. This recipe makes a decent amount. I like the gift idea. The World Martket sells great glass jars which I will buy and pour this fudge into for gifts. I am so glad I tried it. UPDATE: I wanted a richer chocolate taste and texture, so I reheated the fudge sauce the following day and I added a good 1/2 cup of additional cocoa powder and now I think this is a perfect fudge sauce that we enjoy and that I would love to share with others. Check out my blog to compare the before and after photos of this fudge sauce.

This is so easy and inexpensive to make. Most of all it's delicious! I've made it exactly as written twice...once using Hershey's cocoa, once with Nestle. I thought Nestle's gave it a deeper chocolate taste. The 2nd time I added just a splash of cold brewed coffee. Did I mention this is delicious?! I'm going to be making this to give as gifts at Christmas. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!

When I was a child my dad made fudge sauce for ice cream a few times. Years passed and then he couldn't remember how he made it. I have tried so many hot fudge recipes. None tasted anything like I remembered...until now. This is it!! I am so excited to find this recipe after searching for so many years. It brings back many fond memories. Thank you for sharing this one!

Was looking for a recipe that called for cocoa and found this one--so glad I did! After reading the reviews, I did double the cocoa (2/3 cup) and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. It came out nice and smooth and just the right thickness for our tastes. It is, by far, the best hot fudge sauce I've ever tasted! Just had some on banana/strawberry ice cream.....wow! Since I just made it, I won't know about the crystallizing--if it lasts long enough! UPDATE: I stored the fudge in a covered glass jar in the fridge, heating only what we used each time--it has NOT crystallized at all! 2ND UPDATE: Made this again, this time using Nestle Special Dark Cocoa--if you like dark chocolate, you'll love this!

It tasted good and I liked it. I just wanted to leave a review because a previous reviewer made a point of saying that it noes not crystallize. Well it DOES.

Delicious! Tastes just like the hot fudge sauce my mom makes. I halved the recipe but kept the 1/3 cup of cocoa powder. I also whisked throughout, so there was no need for a blender.
