Notes

  • Be sure to continuously stir the sauce during the cooking process. This will keep it from sticking or burning.
  • It’s important to boil the mixture for 2 minutes. Cooking it for too long can lead to a grainy texture, while undercooking it can result in a thin and runny consistency.
  • The hot fudge can be stored in a mason jar or other airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
