My Dad's Fudge

Submitted by Mom10

"My dad was not a cook but he did have a sweet tooth and loved chocolate! This was his recipe and when we were teens we learned to make it. If you only boil it, (oh, no- I don't remember how long), 3 - 5 minutes?, you can use it as a quick and simple hot fudge sauce over ice cream. Yum."
