Homemade Hot Fudge
10 Tbs. unsalted butter (NOT margarine)
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 can evaporated milk
4 Tbs. light Karo syrup
Pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients EXCEPT vanilla in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sauce comes to a boil and boil for two minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Let cool slightly, then serve over brownies, ice cream, etc.
*Sauce will thicken as it cools
Here's a tip: don't skimp on ingredients! The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your food will taste-it really does make a difference! You will get what you pay for. Buy the best that you can afford. Generic ingredients =generic taste.
This recipe makes quite a bit-it will probably serve six to eight people.
For smaller quantities you can easily divide the recipe in half.
