  • “Finding this recipe was a huge mistake!I am so sorry I ever printed it out!My two youngest Dornettes had some friends over last night (Saturday night) for a movie, and I let them make this themselves while I went out powerwalking.By the time I got home, they had made 4 batches of the stuff, eaten it with ice cream, drizzled it over popcorn, spread it on cake and just ate it straight out of the bowl with their fingers.As I walked in the door two girls were trying to get the stuff out of their hair, one girl was squinting very unattractively since it had gotten into her eye, and a 4th girl was trying to quietly throw up in the bathroom.There was also a small chocolate puddle on the floor, but not for long, since the dog was working on that one.The tiny bit I actually got to taste (I think that was off the walls of the microwave itself) was wonderful, I can’t wait to try this again, in polite society.Thanks, Barb, when are you coming over to help clean up my kitchen?”

  • “This recipe is very good.Does anyone know if you can put this up in jars and seal with a hot water bath and not keep refrigerated?Would make a great gift if you could do this.”

  • “I knew you wouldn’t steer me wrong, Bloomers.This was soooo easy to make, we could hardly wait for it to be ready.Was the perfect topping for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup icecream.Heck, it even made the spoon taste good!!Thanks for the tip!!”

  • “Really good!! Wasn’t sure how it would turn out but ending up being delicious! I made brownies (https://www.food.com/recipe/whatever-floats-your-boat-brownies-32204) and covered the entire pan of them with this sauce as they were cooling. I stuck a toothpick in everywhere so the sauce sunk down into the brownies. Sooo good! Beware though, they’re super rich!”

  • “You’re right, IB…This stuff is to die for!Super-easy to put together, and so tasty on ice cream!DH said to tell you “It’s wunnerful”!Thanks for sharing.Laudee”

  • “Let me just start by saying… I should NOT have made this.It is just too good to resist… it’s all I can do not to go to the fridge with a spoon right now and eat some!Oh well…. guess I should enjoy it while it’s there and hopefully refrain from making it too often :^/Thanks for the excellent and easy recipe… it’s really hard to find a recipe for thick and fudgy hot fudge sauce and you’ve nailed it!”

  • “This was very good hot fudge sauce.It was very easy to make with very little clean up needed.The only substitution I made was I used butter instead of magarine.It was even delcious cold out of the fridge!”

  • “What’s not to love?Quick, easy, delicious, and ridiculously fattening … I used butter, not margarine and it was great.I’ll try it with fat-free condensed milk one of these days, just out of curiosity.This is a keeper!”

  • “This sauce was so…..good.My mistake was not sifting the cocoa. I had small lumps in the mixture, so I whipped it with my whisk.”

  • “I’ve been using this for a while now.We love it!I could eat it straight out of the bowl.We bought caramel sauce and root beer flavored sauce today for our ice cream and I also made this.The other sauces just sit and we ate ALL this!And it is so easy!”

  • “OMG!! I made this and served it over hcopeland’s homemade french vanilla ice cream! Words can’t describe how great and easy this was to make!”

  • “This was super easy, in fact my 10 year old made it! Was thick and delicious.poured it over a homemade icecream cake.Once in the freezer it was nice and thick but not solid.Will use this recipe a lot!!!It’s perfect!!”

  • “This awesome ad soooo easy!I made it and dipped strawberries in it.Delicious.”

  • “This stuff is sinfully good!So simple and quick.It seems a little thin when it first comes out of the microwave but as soon as it starts cooling it thickens beautifully.The first time I made this I filled up a Smuckers Hot Fudge bottle that was just about emptied and ready to be tossed.It worked so well I just wash and reuse it when I make this wonderful hot fudge.Thanks so much for sharing Ms I.B.!”

  • “I have made this so many times because it is UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE. I actually have my 6 yr old help and then we all moan about how delicious it is and she’s so very proud. It will truly want to cry. Never before has something so easy been so good. Iron Bloomers, you have changed my life forever. 🙂 All this for fudge sauce – YES. Quit reading and make it NOW. Then call me over to have some.”

  • “I thought this thing was…lick the bowl…delicious and I should know because I did just that.This recipe will never be too far away because it satisfied my chocolate craving.One thing I will do different next time is mash all the cocoa bumps out before adding the sweetened condensed milk.Thank you…so very much…for contributing to my collection of fabulous recipes.Sincerely, Sherry Belle”

  • “Yum-Yum!!Accidentally opened a can of Fat- Free Sweetened Condensed milk and still turned out fantastic.Will surely be making again!”

  • “This is not the absolute best hot fudge sauce we’ve ever had, but it is among our top favorites! We used butter instead of margarine, as we do not use margarine. This was so fast and easy to make – tastes delicious and is a nice thick, rich consistency. I had planned to make some fudge sauce cooked on the stove, but it’s such a hot day I didn’t really feel like standing over the stove for fifteen minutes – this recipe was the perfect solution, and it’s earned a spot in the file I reserve for only our very favorite recipes! Thank you so much for sharing!”

  • “wow! this is now an international favorite, the recipe went home with Silvana Rees, to Chile, she couldn’t believe how great it was and neither could i. can i give it 7 stars to make up for the only 3 stars of the last review? Ok, 7 stars it is!”

  • “I have been trying to find a good Fudge topping for ice cream for a long time. This one is WONDERFUL. It’s not sugary and is creamy, rich and thick. I have to admit I found myself eating it right from the jar. I figure I save calories by cutting back on ice cream !:-) Not only does it taste great but it is so easy to make with ingedients that are always on hand, To find more ways to enjoy this tasty topping, I made a mocha using this and I love it! I think the flavor is very similar to Dairy Queen’s Hot Fudge. After reading Mirj’s review, I can see why her girls loved it. Wish I could been there.I LOVE THIS STUFF !Thanks for sharing your recipe Iron Bloomers.”
