Happy National Hot Fudge Sundae Day!

So I found a silly website that has national food holidays. Are they real? Probably not. But are they a fun thing to blog about on that day? Is that really a question?!?

SO – Happy Hot Fudge Sundae Day!

Make some to celebrate!!! Me and my husband LOVE this Mocha Hot Fudge Sauce!

Goodness on the stove top

Boil and Whisk

Until it’s nice and creamy and delicious

Cool a little bit and then pour generously over ice cream:)

It’s way too good people.

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine espresso or coffee powder and hot water. Stir until dissolved.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Add in remaining chocolate, butter, espresso/water mixture and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
5. Allow to cool slightly and serve over ice cream… or brownies… or chocolate chip cookies… or angel food cake… or cardboard anything you can desire:)
