Hot Fudge Sauce

It might be easier and faster to just squeeze some chocolate syrup out of a bottle, but this recipe is much tastier and absolutely worth the extra time involved. Delicious when served over ice cream. Reheats pretty well in the microwave as leftovers (but don't overheat and burn it). The peanut butter option at the end of the recipe is wonderful if you like peanut butter and chocolate together. 

Ingredients: 

 - 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 

- 1/4 cup butter 

- 1/4 cup sugar 

- 1 can (5 oz or 2/3 cup) evaporated milk 

  Directions: In a small heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together. Add the sugar. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Boil gently over low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat and cool slightly. Serve warm over ice cream. (Can be covered and refrigerated for storage.) 

 Option: To prepare peanut butter fudge sauce, stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter after boiling 3-5 min.
