I mean come on, when is the last time someone made you a jar of homemade hot fudge sauce?

  1. This is amazing fudge sauce. I just made 3 milk-style jars for teacher gifts and I could not stop licking the pot and spoon (after I was done touching the gift jars of course)! I am sad there wasn’t enough for us to keep at home! Catherine everything I make from your 2 cookbooks and blog are always delicious! Thank you for being your talented beautiful self!

  2. I do keep it refrigerated since it is made with milk. The sauce lasts about 1-2 weeks in the fridge!

  3. Hi…these sound great! I’d also like to give as gifts but do they have to keep refrigerated? Are the jars just for transporting? They don’t seal the way you might if you were canning something, right? I’m just trying to think logistics if we give as gifts for teachers, etc.

  4. This sounds delicious! Perfect for gifts! Does it have to be always kept in the fridge? I would like to mail a few as gifts to family out of state.

  5. Yum! Have you tried it with coconut oil instead of butter? I just wonder if it would change the flavor or texture too much. Thanks!
