Awesome, and easy! I used fat free evaporated milk because that was what I had on hand, and threw in a handful of mini marshmallows, as someone else suggested to thicken it up a little, although I don't know that I would have needed that. It thickened fine as it cooled.

Chose this recipe because I needed something fast and I had all the ingredients. Yummy. I also added a pinch of salt. It seemed a little bitter - probably due to my chocolate chips - so I stirred in a few mini-marshmellows before I added the butter & vanilla. It added a little sweetness and helped thicken the sauce.

very tasty, easy sauce. I used 1/3 c. sugar, and 18% cream. After tasting the sauce, I thought something might be missing, and strange as it may sound, I added 1/4 tsp. salt. To me, that made it perfect! Thanks for a great recipe.

This is a great sauce. Very easy to make and keeps very well. For a thicker sauce (after reading the reviews) I opted for using Half 'n Half and cutting it back to 10 ounces. Made all the difference! Nice and thick and very rich. I will make this again and can't wait to make to serve with my recipe#108114!! Thanks Truebrit for a really nice recipe!

This is the second time I made this. Apparently I never reviewed it. This is a very simple recipe. The first time I made it with the evaporated milk. The second time I made it with half and half (because that's all I had)and it was as good if not a tad better. It seemed a little bit thicker with the half and half. When my kids want hot fudge...I take out a couple of spoonfuls and microwave it in a small cup for about 7-10 seconds and just pour it over ice cream.
