The Best Hot Fudge Sauce

The Best Hot Fudge Sauce is so easy to make, comes together in minutes and is thick, fudgy and delicious. We’ve been making my mom’s recipes for years!

The Best Hot Fudge Sauce

I can call this hot fudge recipe the BEST Hot Fudge Sauce for a couple of reasons.  First, my maiden name is BEST.  So all of my mom’s recipes are the Best recipes.  But second, it is the BEST hot fudge sauce I have ever tasted and I have tried a few and I think you will agree.

After trying this hot fudge sauce, you will never buy a jar of hot fudge again!  It is easy to make and better tasting than anything you have bought in a jar from the grocery store.

This sauce can be made with semi sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips.  Whatever your chocolate preference is, you can personalize it to your taste.  I prefer to use milk chocolate when making my hot fudge.

Ingredients Needed

• Chocolate Chips
• Butter – I always use salted butter. If you are using unsalted butter, add in 1/8 tsp of salt.
• Evaporated Milk – You can also replace the evaporated milk with half and half.
• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla Extract

How to Make Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe

• Melt chocolate chips, butter, milk and powdered sugar over medium-low heat in a medium to large sauce pan. Whisk until smooth.
• Bring mixture to a boil
• Cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. It can burn easily.
• Remove from the heat and add vanilla.
• Sauce will thickens as it cools. It will become fudge like when totally cool but just reheat in the microwave to make it pourable.
