Fabulous Hot Fudge Sauce

Perfect for hot fudge sundaes, this keeps well in the refrigerator. Hot Fudge Sauce is delicious served over ice cream, hot or cold. It can also be drizzled over individual servings of cheesecake, etc. Another way I like to use it is for dipping churros while the churros are hot.
