Hot Fudge Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (I used low fat)
  • 1 stick butter, 8 oz salted
  • 2 king-sized Hershey bars (7 oz each)
  • 2 t vanilla

Instructions

  1. Using a double boiler system, bring water to a low boil.
  2. Place a tempered glass bowl over steaming water.
  3. Add all of the ingredients, stirring until melted and combined. Remove from heat.
  4. Using a wide-mouthed funnel, pour hot fudge sauce into half-pint sized canning/mason jars, cover with lid and refrigerate up to 3 weeks.
