Hot Fudge Sauce!

I'm afraid I'm going to ruin things for you. Once you try this recipe, you're never going to be able to buy chocolate sauce at the store again. I would apologize but I'm pretty sure you'll thank me for it. I have been looking for things to dunk in mine since I made this yesterday. It's still sitting in the middle of my counter. I need to put it in the fridge so I only see it every time I open the door. Instead of every time I walk into the kitchen. It's a problem. 

You'll notice a considerable amount is gone. Yeah, that was one bowl of ice cream last night. Like I said, I'm afraid I'm going to ruin things for you.

BERNICE’S HOT FUDGE SAUCE

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. water

12 oz. pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips

14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

1 t. vanilla

Combine butter, water & chocolate chips in top of double boiler.  Stir till chips melt.  Add milk & vanilla.  Blend well.  Remove from heat.  Cool. Store, covered, in fridge up to 6 months. (Not that it will still be around by then!) It makes one pint sized jar. 

I will accept additional jars of chocolate sauce as thanks for bringing this little spot of warm chocolatey goodness into your life. :) Enjoy and happy weekend!
