Welcome to Homemade for the Holidays! Well, we are only 3 days until Christmas…are you ready?
I hope you have a little time to make some of this Hot Fudge Sauce! You WON’T be sorry! It’s smooth and creamy and oh so…chocolatey!
I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy {that seems to be the special words lately} this Hot Fudge Sauce is! And when I say quick, I mean about 5 minutes from start to finish! When I first saw the recipe on Our Best Bites, I added it to my to-do list right away.
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 oz. Semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
- Chop chocolate into small chunks.
- Add all ingredients to a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat until sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Let cool slightly and spoon into jar.
- Store in fridge
Do you remember those little Mason Jars that I used for the Cupcakes in a Jar during the Cupcake Decorating Party? I used the same kind and they worked perfectly.
You can get 2 jars full with this recipe. That makes the cost about $3 for each gift, including the jar. After making this sauce, I don’t think you will ever buy store bought again.
Pair it up with some Peppermint Ice Cream, add a ribbon, a circle of scrapbook paper to the lid and a cute tag {I ordered these from Label Daddy when Eversave had them on special}
A perfect gift for the Ice Cream Lover in your life!!

This sounds so good! I can’t wait to make it.
This is good stuff!!! I made it a while back and lost my recipe. It is lost no more. Thanks.
Yum! I read this and immediately went off to my kitchen to make it
This looks amazingly delish! I love that you’re doing a homemade holiday. I did a 80% homemade holiday this year. So far everything’s turning out. Although, I might be admitted to an asylum before it’s all done. lol

I just made some homemade Hot Fudge the other day, but wow your recipe is easier!! I will have to try this one next time.
Oh YUM!
I just made four batches of this! I’m sitting down while it cools. I still need to print out my tags and love them up a little, but it is delicious.

Have a great week!!
Does this need to be refrigerated after it’s been made?
Yes Sarah, you need to refrigerate the hot fudge.
Oh. My. Gosh. This is the most delicious sauce I think I’ve had. Storebought? Never again! Easy and a great gift idea. Will be giving this to a family friend for Christmas. I couldn’t find the little 1/2 pint jars so I just filled up a regular pint jar with this nummy concoction. Fits perfectly. ^^
@Amy W., I forgot to mention that I subbed margerine for the butter and added a dash of vanilla extract to mine.

I’m so excited you liked it Amy! Merry Christmas!

Can you tell me what is the best way to heat the leftovers back up. I tried gently microwaving and it does not work. Would love any suggestions for this delicious hot fudge sauce!
Hi Charlene, I just spoon it into a bowl and microwave it. Depending on the amount, maybe about 20-30 seconds.
How long will this recipe keep? Can you can it like jam to keep longer?
I have not canned the Hot Fudge Sauce, so I’m not really sure. It will keep up to a month or so in the fridge, just place in microwave safe bowl to re-heat about 20-30 seconds. If you are looking to make it for gifts, it goes together in minutes, so I would suggest making it up to a couple weeks in advance, but keep in fridge.
