Finally Found It Hot Fudge Sauce

Submitted by Chef #253023

"I've been on a quest to find the best tasting hot fudge sauce. After trying countless recipes that seemed to be either too sweet, too bland, or "off" with undertones of evaporated or condensed milk, I finally found this one on the back of the Baker's unsweetened chocolate package. To me, the flavor is perfect. An added bonus is that it is one of the easiest and fastest to prepare!"

This sauce is perfect! I couldn't ask for an easier recipe! It has a wonderful dark chocolate flavor minus the grainy texture and cloying super-sweet sugar taste that a lot of other hot fudge recipes have. This is definitely the only fudge sauce recipe I will ever use from now on. Goodbye forever Hershey's syrup and jared sauce!

This is certainly easy, but I guess Hot Fudge Sauce is a matter of taste. I'm looking for a taste that's more like fudge. If you are looking for a sauce that's not too sweet, this might be for you.
