Hey Guys! Here is my families Hot Fudge Recipe. This is a very easy recipe and oh so delicious. It makes great hot fudge for sundaes, a sauce to drizzle over deserts, or a great frosting for a cake. This is a great recipe for a gift. Use Ball canning jars for an affordable and attractive way to store the fudge sauce.
Hot Fudge Recipe:
Ingredients:
-5 squares unsweetened Baker's Chocolate
-1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick of butter)
-3 cups unsifted confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
-1 can evaporated milk (12 oz)
-1 1/4 tsp vanilla
1. Melted chocolate squares and butter in a sauce pan. Keep a watchful eye and stir regularly. This can burn easily!
2. Add sugar and evaporated milk alternately in small amounts until all sugar and milk are added. More clearly, add a small amount of milk, stir in completely, then add a small amount of sugar, and stir in completely.
3. After all sugar and milk are added, bring the mixture to a light boil. Cook 8 minutes stirring constantly. Again, this can burn very easily!
4. Take off heat, stir in vanilla.
5. Voila . . . a tasty, homemade hot fudge sauce!
*The mixture might separate slightly when adding milk and sugar alternately. Don't worry, keep stirring, and you will have a smooth sauce in the end!
*Store in a tupperware container or Ball canning jar. Keep in refrigerator and gently heat in microwave or place glass jar in a pot of lightly boiling water.
Fudge Frosting Recipe:
-2 cups cooled hot fudge sauce
-2 cups confectioners sugar
Blend the cooled hot fudge sauce and confectioners sugar well and frost cake.
I hope you enjoy!

@cheilmon I have never really tested to determine how long it will last, but I assume that it will last a good amount of time. I still have some in the fridge from when I made this 3 weeks ago and mine is still good. If you are worried that it will go bad, I would make a half batch of the recipe posted in the bottom bar. A plastic container would be just fine. Good luck!
