Hot Fudge Sauce
Hot Fudge Sauce
Tell me you like HOT FUDGE SAUCE as much as I do.
Really no ice cream sundae would exist without it if I had anything to say.
I’m not sure the first time I ever had hot fudge sauce, but I certainly know my life is better for knowing it well.
I made my first batch of hot fudge sauce the other day and….the jar was empty before I knew it. I whipped up another batch to finish what I was working on, which I will tell you about soon.
I am now dreaming of other ways to enjoy hot fudge sauce. Do you have a favorite? Please share it with, I’m thinking three servings a day of this stuff will be a good balance.
Yep, it’s my opinion that everyone needs hot fudge sauce….and it’s super easy to make.
I’m thinking this on top of a tray of brownies next, are you with me?
I even think I see it smiling back at me!
This is a quick and easy recipe and I have made many batches of this Hot Fudge Sauce. I really like the flavor of the dutch process cocoa and the 60% cacao chocolate together.
Hot or cold, hot fudge is yummy! This recipe made 2 cups.
This hot fudge sauce is so rich and creamy!
Now, hot fudge isn’t just GREAT on a spoon, it’s perfect over ice cream, or drizzled over fruit, It tastes great over a cake like this Banana Split Cake!
When I got down to the end of the jar, of course, I had a spoonful or two, quality control….it’s tough, but I got it done.
I shared this photo on Instagram. Are you on Instagram? I’m HERE, leave me a link to yours so I can follow you too. Instagram is my favorite social networking site, what’s yours?
And don’t forget fudge like this is great layered in between cake, and well I could go on all day about how delicious it is.
Use good quality chocolate for the best results. In the recipe, I tell you exactly what chocolates I use and the flavor is fantastic!

Glad I found this post, my whole day is saved. I am having company tonight and planned on hot fudge sundaes and now realize we don’t have any hot fudge. I love all your recipes and thought, I wonder if Diane has a recipe for hot fudge… and you do. Plus it’s delicious and easy to make. I doubled it. My family is going to love that I know how to make it and we don’t have to buy those tiny jars any longer. Thanks so much. Looking forward to your next email!
How much sauce does a batch of this homemade sauce yield? I’ve looked over the recipe but I don’t see anything. I may have missed it but so far can’t find it. Thanks
I put it in a 16 oz glass jar, but it doesn’t quite fill it. So about 12 oz is my estimation.
I LOVE FUDGE! Can this be made with Hershey’s cocoa powder and milk chocolate chips?
yes you can use you chocolates of choice 🙂
I just finished making this to give as gifts for a couple of friends for Christmas. It filled two half pint jars nicely with a little left over (and I had all I could do to not sit down with a spoon and finish it off!) This stuff is awesome! I need to go to the store and buy some more chocolate so I can match a batch for home. It’s delicious. The only thing I did different (and it wasn’t on purpose) was my cocoa powder was Hershey’s Special Dark. No problem there I love dark chocolate.
