ReplyThank you for the recipe. If i put the sauce in an ice cream as a swirl will it freeze or be soft when stored in a freezer.
ReplyHave you tried making this with other types of chips? Like butterscotch?

ReplyI had forgotten this easy version of hot fudge sauce, and made a batch last night minutes after coming across your site. It does benefit from 1/2 tsp vanilla added after it’s off the heat. It seems like cheating for something so good to be so easy.

Tonight I had a craving for a hot fudge sundae but didn’t want to go to the store for the fudge sauce. I knew I had about 1 cup of chocolate chips in the cupboard and wondered if there was some quick and easy way to make a fudge sauce using the chips. First recipe I came to on the internet was this one, and I would say no more than 15 or 20 minutes later my husband and I were enjoying delicious hot fudge sundaes. It really was that quick and easy, plus I have a full pint jar left over for the next time I have a sweet tooth.
It helped, of course, that I had the three ingredients on hand. I don’t usually keep sweetened condensed milk on hand except at Christmas time. When things work out like that I figure they were meant to be. I will sleep well tonight and work off the calories tomorrow.

ReplyHi Sherron! I don’t think there’s an easier Hot Fudge Sauce available compared to this one! Question… How long can this be stored in the fridge? I’d like to make several jars for Christmas gifts but didn’t know how far in advance I could prepare them. Thanks in advance!
See AlsoCoffee Toffee - RecipeGirlReplyGreat, quick recipe. I wasn’t sure it turned out at first because the butter didn’t seem to incorporate, but fear not, this sauce is amazing!
Replyhow long does this hot fudge last for after making?
ReplyWonderful! I have made many times. What could be easier.

ReplyHow bad could it be? Its hot Fudge!!
ReplyThis is awesome! I made it for gifts and people actually asked for more!! Excellent Christmas gift for office, teachers, and neighbors. It tends to be a bit pricey, so I will begin early in the year stockpiling condensed milk and chocolate when I see it on sale. By the time I got to the end of 48 jars I truly had it down to an art. I just hope I remember for this Christmas. Lol.
ReplyDo you use semi-sweet chocolate chips, or milk chocolate? Thanks.
ReplyMine turned out very thick and became firm upon contact with ice cream. Did I do something wrong
ReplyHow long will this product last in a mason jar for gifts? How much does this recipe make?
ReplyThis is horrible! Don’t waste your ingredients. I should have known when I noticed the ingredients are the same asa generic recipe for fudge, with easy more butter and less chocolate chips. This does not make fudge sauce people! It makes a mess of buttered, sweet, snot textured, chocolate colored garbage. Nasty!
Replythat was the most childish response. you could have simply said it did not work for you…what is wrong with kids these days! no manners!!

This was so good. Made it last minute to go with homemade ice cream for hot fudge sundaes. Really easy to make and easy to have ingredients on hand.
ReplyI just made this fudge sauce. Followed the recipe. It took a total of 5 minutes and camebout absolutely perfect. So anyone who said it was ” horrible” did something wrong. Its delicious, shiny thick and silky.

ReplyHow long will the hot fudge sauce keep in the refrigerator? My family really enjoyed it but next time I am going to try making it dairy free since I can not have dairy.
★★★★
ReplyToo sweet taste like the condense milk
ReplyI’d lovetp try this but am concerned that many of the questions weren’t answered.
ReplyCan you us powdered chocolate instead of the choco. Chunks? Thank you!! God bless you.
SonjaReplyI am a Hot Fudge Sunday Lover and this is by far the best and easy sauce I have come made. I double it up and add a cap of vanilla. It is fast and easy and you need to try it. I am not sure that those how say they can taste the sweet and condensed milk can, the chocolate takes over the flavor. I spent a lot of time making different hot fudge sauce and this is the easiest and best by far.
ReplyMine was beautifully silky and delicious while hot, but it got weirdly thick and goopy/chunky when it cooled off some. Reheating it helped some, but it seemed like the butter was trying to separate out. Did I miss something? Should I have just put it directly into the fridge while hot?

FAQs
What's the difference between hot fudge and fudge? ›
Hot fudge is made by boiling together cream, sugar, chocolate, and sometimes butter—the traditional ingredients for fudge—into what is essentially just an undercooked, unset version of the confection.
What makes hot fudge taste different? ›Hot fudge is the thickest and richest
It's the addition of heavy cream (in place of water or milk) and butter that creates hot fudge. Cream and butter give hot fudge its lush texture, flavor complexity, and dense richness. In addition to cocoa, chunks of chocolate are sometimes added for even more chocolatey goodness.
Graining can be caused by stirring the fudge mixture during the cooling process or not adding enough fluid to dissolve the sugar. The trick to fixing graininess is to melt the sugar crystals to give them another chance at setting properly.
What makes fudge taste like fudge? ›Fudge is a type of confectionery made with sugar, butter, and milk that often includes cocoa powder or melted chocolate. It has a creamy texture and can be flavored with various ingredients such as nuts, fruits, or spices. Fudge may also contain marshmallow creme or condensed milk to give it an even richer flavor.
What is McDonald's hot fudge made of? ›Hot Fudge Topping
Ingredients: Sugar, Water, Nonfat Milk, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa (processed With Alkali), Corn Syrup, Salt, Disodium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavor, Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids. Contains: Milk, Soy.
By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals. Stirring would help sucrose molecules "find" one another and start forming crystals. Stirring also introduces air, dust, and small dried bits from the walls of the saucepan—all potential seeds for crystal formation.
Should you stir fudge as it cools? ›After letting the fudge cool, it's time to beat it. It is important to stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to thicken and its surface starts to look dull or matte. Now is the time to stop beating and pour the fudge into a mould.
How do you thicken hot fudge? ›Cornflour/Cornstarch: Mix a small amount with cold milk or water to create a smooth paste. Whisk this into your hot chocolate towards the end of the cooking process until it thickens. Double Cream: Stirring in a splash of double cream can instantly enrich and thicken your drink, giving it a velvety texture.
Why is my old fashioned fudge not hardening? ›The main reason is that your Fudge has not reached the optimum temperature. If your mixture only reaches 110 or 112 degrees Celsius it will always be soft. That's why we recommend investing in a sugar thermometer. Another reason your Fudge is not setting is that the ratio of liquid to sugar is too high.
How do you make Paula Deen's 5 minute fudge? ›Combine the sugar, milk, butter and salt. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, nuts and marshmallows until melted; mix well.
Will powdered sugar thicken fudge? ›
How to thicken your fudge? If your fudge it noticeably thin, you may want to add more chocolate. If you are out of chocolate, you can also add 1/4-1/2 cup of powdered sugar. This, however, can make the fudge very sweet.
What is the secret to smooth fudge that is not gritty? ›To fix oily, hard or grainy fudge, scoop the fudge back into a pot with about a cup of water. Cook it over low heat until the fudge dissolves. Then bring the fudge back up to the temperature specified in the recipe and follow the remaining steps. The flavor may be slightly diluted, but the texture will be improved.
Why did my fudge turn out like taffy? ›If the temperature is too low, the fudge will be too soft and sticky, and if it's too high, it will turn into a hard, crumbly mess. The ideal temperature to cook fudge is between 232-234 degrees F (111-112 degrees C).
What is the meaning of hot fudge? ›: a hot, thick, chocolate sauce that is usually served on ice cream. A hot fudge sundae is ice cream topped with hot fudge and usually nuts and whipped cream.
How does hot fudge taste? ›It's super-duper dark and rich with a high quality cocoa flavor. It almost tastes like homemade hot cocoa before you add the milk. It's so close to being the best chocolate sauce, but since you absolutely have to heat it up in order to use it as a topping, I'm keeping it in the two slot.
What is hot chocolate fudge made of? ›We use hot chocolate mix, sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips to create this fudge—that's it! For the hot chocolate mix, any kind that you have and enjoy drinking will do.
Can you eat hot fudge? ›The hot fudge sauce is thick, rich, dense, fudgy, very intensely chocolaty and not overly sweet. Serve over ice cream, brownies, cakes, cookies, waffles, pancakes, or just find a spoon and dig in!
