SAVE MONEY BY MAKING YOUR OWN HOT FUDGE SAUCE!

And is it good.  If you really LOVE chocolate, you'll especially love how easy this is to make.  We like to serve it over vanilla ice cream, but you can also use it instead of frosting on a cake.  Sprinkle with pecans or walnuts to top if you wish and dig in.  It tastes great.

Ingredients: 

1/4 c cocoa powder
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c light corn syrup
1/4 c milk or light cream
a pinch of salt

Stir these ingredients together in a saucepan until blended.  Bring to a boil over medium heat.  Boil for 3 minutes.

Take off the burner and add:
1/2 t vanilla
1  1/2 T butter

Stir to blend. 

This hot fudge sauce will harden up pretty quickly.  Plan to keep this on a warmer or low burner so it stays soft for serving.  Refrigerate leftovers.
