Insanity! My goodness this was awesome. I am vegan and it's very difficult to find a hot fudge recipe w/o evaporated milk. My kids wanted sundaes on a whim when I was out of both cocoa and vanilla so I needed to sub in a little.

I used 4 oz of dark chocolate, decreased the butter to 2T and the sugar to 3/4 c (probably could have cut it to 1/2). I subbed a wee bit of chopped-to-dust vanilla bean and did add 1/8 t sea salt to counteract the sweet a bit. I can't wait to try it with a little cayenne or chipotle to add a kick.

This is a keeper recipe for my family. Thank you for posting!

In need of hot fudge sauce, and no time to run to town, I decided that somebody should have posted a good recipe.................I was right!!! I just made the second batch, the first one didn't last too long. We really enjoyed it, and will in the future, I'm sure.
Thanks for posting!

My family loved this. I may add a little less cocoa next time, which is just personal preference. We put it over ice cream, but my four year old loved it best as a dip for pretzels and apples. Easy to make with things I always keep on hand!
