      Which is the thickening agent? The chocolate or the condensed milk? I want a very thick fudge for a cupcake filling, and don't want it to be at all runny. Would adding more chocolate chips make it thicker? Or more condensed milk? Or add powdered sugar to thicken? What do you think?

      • Kim Lange says

        It's pretty thick but if you wanted to make it thicker, it can be made thicker by adding more chocolate. Hope that helps Brock! xo

      Does this go into the refrigerator? How long does it keep? Also when it cools is it nice and thick like the hot fudge you find in grocery stores?

      • Kim Lange says

        Yes, once you make it, it goes in the fridge. Up to 2 - 3 weeks, and yes it's thick. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!

      Thank you! Wanted a hot fudge on my vanilla ice cream without much work and no corn syrup. This fit the bill perfectly! Yum! 🙂

      Kim, New member of your blog family. Recently retired so I now have the time to rekindle my interest in baking and your site is certainly doing just that. Made the hot fudge sauce. Sooo easy and delicious! I look forward to future recipes from you. Best wishes, Judy

      I m always looking for easy summer desserts to serve at dinner parties and picnics. These little trifles are perfect! I love the combination of chocolate and cheesecake too.  What a fun and easy idea! I always have M M s in my house, so this might be happening sooner rather than later!

      Wow, this sauce looks awesome Kim. My problem is I would probably put a spoon into the sauce and just keep eating the sauce - without using it as a topping for anything!

        Teresa, I completely understand, too well! It's so rich and sinful. 🙂
