Easy Chocolate Fudge Sauce

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you’re looking for an easy, delicious, all-purpose Chocolate Fudge Sauce, look no further!

I mean, why buy fudge sauce when it’s this easy to make at home? All you need are three simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand–corn syrup, heavy cream, and of course, chocolate.

You don’t need much time to make this chocolate sauce either. Got five minutes? Then you have time to make homemade chocolate fudge sauce.

I always make this with semi-sweet chocolate, but you could certainly make a dark or milk chocolate sauce, or even use a combination of chocolate in this recipe.

Since this sauce keeps in the refrigerator for so long (about three weeks), I usually double the recipe.  I feel that it’s important to always have chocolate sauce handy!

This sauce can be reheated in the microwave when you’re ready to use it. Or, if you don’t feel like reheating, you can just scoop it up and eat it with a spoon. I don’t think it was intended to be used that way, but I can’t say I’ve never done it.

This stuff great on ice cream, cake, cheesecake, and even breakfast treats like waffles and pancakes.  You could even use this as a fondue!

And it makes a wonderful and impressive gift for friends, teachers and neighbors. Just put some in a pretty jar with a pretty ribbon and you’re all set.

This Chocolate Fudge Sauce is the kind of classic recipe everyone needs in their collection. Trust me, you’ll be making this again and again!
