Hot Fudge Sauce

Cindy W.'s Note:

This came from one of the "Best of Southern Living" Cookbooks and is the best hot fudge sauce I've ever tried. I use this one to make my version of Don Pablo's Chocolate Volcano...and it's become a standard dessert at Christmas time with my family. I double this recipe all the time with no problems.

Wonderful. :-) I was so excited to try this- because I too LOVE that chocolate volcano at Don Pablos. So I made a mexican chocolate cake, put a scoop of ice cream, and poured this awesome sauce right over it all....heaven! All of the Don Pablos in our state have been closed :-( so this is a welcome addition to my recipe collection! Made for Fall '09 PAC.

Really like the ease in making this sauce, & IT TASTES GREAT, too! I actually tripled the amounts, then gave away part of it as a gift to another chocoholic friend of mine! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick-A-Chef]
