Recipe FAQ
Can this be canned? I do not recommend canning your fudge sauce. If you want to store it, it’s best to store it refrigerated.
Does it need to be reheated every use after making and storing? This sauce can be eaten hot or cold. It can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave, but be sure to heat it slowly so it doesn’t burn. You can also reheat as many times as needed, it shouldn’t change the texture or taste of the sauce.
How can I thicken the chocolate sauce? If you follow the instructions correctly, the chocolate sauce should not be runny. It thickens as it cools. If you want it to thicken as it cools then try adding a little powdered sugar to it. Reheating is required when adding.
How can I make it smoother? If you find your sauce is too thick for your taste, heat it up and add a little more evaporated milk or butter to the sauce.
