After dinner last night we were looking for a little sweetish something. We had a half gallon of vanilla ice cream in the freezer but no toppings. Since we are both chocolate fans I decided to see about making my own hot fudge and here's what I came up with:Combine one stick of butter in a saucepan with 1 cup chocolate chips, a quarter cup honey, and 1/2 to one cup half and half or cream depending on thickness desired. Heat gently until hot and pour over ice cream or pound cake.
I stopped buying hot fudge in the store awhile back because I haven't been able to find a brand without high fructose corn syrup which I try to avoid. This recipe has the advantage of being all natural with no preservatives. Who needs preservatives for something that disappears so quickly?Imagine this on ice cream combined with a little dessert wine or liqueur: cream de mint? raspberry or peach wine? kahlua? An easy finish to a company dinner with shortbread on the side.
This would probably also work for dipping cookies. It solidified after cooling. Hmmm...I wonder if I could use it to make chocolate spoons.

This Was Great ! Thank you for your generosity in sharing this: I made it today in anticipation of my brother and sister-in-law's visit, as she loves chocolate: got some vanilla bean ice cream: we three just loved it: now the remainder is off to D.C. for their daughter to enjoy with them.
ummmm: think I will have to make more, for me....
So glad you enjoyed it. Next time I want to use heavy cream. I'm so bad! LOL.
