Hot Fudge Sauce



If you've read the last post, you know we had sweet friends over for dessert recently.

Because we were having a "make your own chocolate chip ice cream sundae bar,"

I needed wanted hot fudge sauce.

Sure, I could have gone to my favorite ice cream dairy store (picture below)



and picked up a jar of their delicious hot fudge sauce.

But I didn't.

I was feeling way to domesticated for such radical behavior!

I have a great hot fudge sauce recipe.

But I couldn't find it.

This makes a woman like me crazy.

Crazy, I tell you!

I can tell you who we were with the last time I made it.

I can remember where I found the recipe the last time I made it.

So why, oh why, can't I find it now?

I don't know.

But I don't have time to panic.

I only have time for hot fudge sauce.

I searched and searched for a recipe that was similar to the one I wanted to make.

The one I wanted to make does NOT have sweetened condensed milk in it.

Not that sweetened condensed milk is bad.

It isn't.

Trust me!

I believe in the stuff.

But I didn't want it in my hot fudge sauce this time.

This recipe I found was on a blog, but I can't remember which one, but there are three listed below.  I feel for certain that if you are interested in the original source, you can locate it at one of those sites!

I changed the recipe, only slightly, for my preference.

Hot Fudge Sauce

2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup  brown sugar
1/4 cup  cocoa powder
3 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 TBSP  butter
1/2  tsp. coffee extract (NOT coffee.  It's from King Arthur Flour) OR 1 tsp. vanilla extract
In a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream, syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and half of the chocolate to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low or low to maintain a slight simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining chocolate, the butter, and the extract, stirring until smooth. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes before using (it will thicken as it cools).

Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds or until it's pourable but still thick.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
