Ingredients

  • 1 cup good quality dark chocolate
  • 1 cup good quality milk chocolate
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar add 1-2 extra TBSP to taste if you want it sweeter
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 TBSP salted butter

Instructions

  • Make the Hot Fudge Sauce: Add chocolate, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Continue heating it and stirring it until it reaches a low boil. Once it gets there, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the tablespoon of butter.
    That's it! The hot fudge will thicken up as it cools.
  • Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Notes

NOTES: I've also made this with 1 and 1/2 cups dark chocolate and 3/4 cup milk chocolate. If you're not a big fan of dark chocolate, you could use 2 full cups of semisweet chocolate.
