Hot Fudge Sauce doesn’t have to come from a jar. This homemade version is simple, fudgy, and decadent. Use it for your next banana split or a simple hot fudge sundae. It is also perfect for the fudge topping on my Cool Colorado Crunch Ice Cream Dessert or classic homemade ice cream.
Every time I make this hot fudge sauce, I think of a couple sisters who were my friends in our teens. I think they call it “Natalie’s Famous Hot Fudge Sauce” but I just call it GOOD! I especially like that it requires ingredients that I already have on hand. Thanks, Natalie and Kathy, for sharing this decadent treat!

Natalie will be glad to see that I'm getting partial credit for a recipe that is ALL hers. haha! I have a way of "stealing" her recipes and claiming them as my own….similar to how I used to raid her closet back in jr. high. When I make this I pretty much want to skip the ice cream and just have a bowl of this warm, wonderful stuff!!! Yum-O!
from one "little sister" to another, Kathy, I remember well the days in junior high that I would browse Pam's closet, put something on, and then begin the pleading to borrow it. She was so long suffering!
I have been looking for a homemade choco sauce recipe. I'll have to give this a try.
Yep, pretty decadent. I'm licking my lips right now from the delicious hot fudge sundae. Thanks! (I made it with milk…I should make two batches next time…one w/water and one w/milk and compare!).
