Rich, thick, and chocolatey hot fudge is the best topping for ice cream. There are only FOUR ingredients in this easy hot fudge recipe and it takes about five minutes to make.

I’m pretty sure my favorite dessert is a warm brownie or chocolate chip cookie with vanilla bean ice cream and this amazing hot fudge! I’m pretty sure because I still haven’t tried every dessert yet. 🙂
This hot fudge recipe is another family favorite. It is so good, even cold straight from the fridge. Growing up, if we had it in the fridge I remember sneaking spoonfuls of this deliciousness without any shame.
