Chewy Fudge Sauce

[jenswan]

Hi ~

I just made a fudge sauce recipe for the second time. The first time it tasted great but was a little grainy and I could see that it hadn't all totally combined. This time I think I cooked it a little more (too much?) and it's chewy and very hard when put on ice cream.

My question is, is there anything I can do to soften/thin the chewy sauce?

Thanks so much.

I assume you mean hot fudge, chocolate hot fudge? Add a little cream while it's cooking.

Yes, chocolate fudge sauce. Thanks, I'll try that.

If the recipe is good, would you mind sharing it? I love trying new recipes and have family and friends who always love ice cream sundaes!

It tastes delicious, but was so chewy it was hard to eat! Adding cream worked well. Actually I had no cream so just used the 1% milk I had on hand.

I wrote out & thought I posted the recipe but looks like it got lost somewhere. So here it is:

In a heavy saucepan combine:

4 oz. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, broken up (I used a 4 oz. bar of Ghiradelli)
4 T. butter
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar ( I wonder how brown sugar would work?)
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. light corn syrup

Cook & stir over med. heat til all is melted and combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 min. Remove from heat, add

1 tsp. vanilla

Enjoy!
