"You'll never need or want storebought hot fudge again after making your own in under 10 minutes. It's so easy that it's dangerous. The hot fudge is thick, rich, dense, fudgy, not too sweet, and very intensely chocolaty. Serve over ice cream, brownies, cakes, cookies, waffles, pancakes, and it's thick enough to double as a frosting for cupcakes or muffins. Or just find a spoon and dig in. It'll take care of your most severe chocolate cravings...."
