Chocolate Sauce Deluxe

Melt butter with chocolate in saucepan. Add other ingredients (except vanilla) and cook 20-25 minutes over medium heat. Mixture will slowly thicken. Add vanilla and serve over ice cream.

NOTES:

* Hot fudge sauce for ice cream -- This is the fudgiest and best sauce you'll ever taste. The recipe has been passed down in our family for years and years.

* This sauce becomes like fudge candy when refrigerated, and it's hard to keep from poking your finger in it for a taste. Simply reheat in a saucepan to melt it down.
