  1. I tried this per the recipe the first time, but it came out like caramel. The second time I substituted part of the condensed milk with regular milk and used confectioner's sugar instead of regular sugar. It came out great! Thanks so much!
     
  2. I really enjoyed the taste of this while it was warm and it came out silky smooth, but as soon as it hit the ice cream it turned into chocolate caramel and was hard to eat. I used sweetened condensed milk in it. I just checked other recipes here and I've found sweetened as well as evaporated in recipes so I'm going to try the condensed next time. It was a very simple recipe to make and also a nice amount. The firm caramel I might use for some brownies so it definitely won't go to waste.
     
  3. I made this recipe because it uses cocoa instead of chocolate. I wasn't sure if "condensed milk" meant evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk, but since KatieLynn had success substituting heavy cream, I went ahead and used evaporated milk since I had a partially used can open already. There also wasn't much direction regarding cooking temperature, so I played it safe -- I started on medium-high heat and stirred constantly. When the sugar was melted it began making whooshing noises as my spatula scraped the bottom of the pan, and that worried me, so I reduced the heat to medium. After it got to a rolling boil I reduced the heat to low for the 5 minutes of boiling. The sauce turned out very nice, thick and smooth -- exactly like I wanted! (I omitted the salt and used unsalted butter, to reduce the sodium for my diet.)
     
  4. I'm not quite sure what happened, but this didn't turn out at all. It was so hard and sticky, not at all what I had expected. I halved the recipe, and that might have been what the problem was. I might try it again with heavy cream like KatieLynn did.
     
  5. Very, very yummy (and super easy) hot fudge! I substituted heavy cream for the condensed milk and it seemed to work fine. The texture of my finished sauce was *very* slightly grainy, might be improved by boiling longer ( I don't think I boiled it the full 5 minutes) or by using superfine sugar. I especially liked that this recipe called for cocoa powder, not chocolate - it's cheaper, and I'm more likely to have it on hand. Thanks, Lisa! This one's a keeper!

My family is usually scared to ask what's for dinner as it probably will be something we have never had before and none of us know if we will like it. I have a family full of picky eaters, but I always make them at least try something before deciding if they like it or not!
