If you’ve ever bought fudge sauce from the store and been disappointed, then prepared to be amazed. This homemade hot fudge sauce tastes like heaven and only takes minutes to make. I adapted this recipe from a slightly smaller one from my mother-in-law, so that’s why some of the numbers will seem kind of random.
Melt in the microwave:
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
On the stove, melt completely:
⅔ c. butter
Add and stir till dissolved:
2 c. sugar
Add the melted chocolate and stir well.
Stir and add until well-mixed:
1 to 1 1/2 c. evaporated milk (You can choose how thick you want the hot fudge sauce to be.)
Add and stir until combined:
13 ⅓ lg. marshmallows, quartered, or 133 small (3.3 oz or 93.3 g if you’d rather not count!)
Serve hot fudge sauce with your favorite ice cream or over ice cream roll cake. (This recipe makes the perfect amount to cover 2 ice cream roll cakes.) Leftovers can be kept in the fridge and reheated for a few seconds in the microwave. If you make a thicker sauce and the sugar starts to crystallize, add a splash of milk before heating it up. We’ve also eaten this delicious sauce on waffles. It tastes far better than any syrup!
