Just for Katie

So I haven't been able to figure out something interesting to blog about and my cool friend Katie suggested I put up some of my recipes.  Well, technically they really aren't mine, I usually get them from someone else.  Anyway, this is one of my favorites Katie requested that I got from my Sister in Law (but I have also seen it in one of my cookbooks).  Thinking about it makes me want some.  I urge you not to make it with any lowfat or nonfat evaporated milk.  For heaven sakes if you are going to treat yourself...just go all out.  Plus it won't turn out as good.

Hot Fudge Sauce

3/4 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate)

1/4 cup butter

2/3 cup sugar

1 (5 oz.) can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk

In heavy saucepan melt chocolate chips and butter.  Add the sugar.  Gradually stir in the milk.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat.  Boil gently over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat.  Serve warm.

I personally prefer the recipe with semi-sweet chocolate chips (I am a dark chocolate lover), but my sister-in-law says that she always gets the most compliments when she uses milk chocolate.  I never use milk chocolate chips because I think it tastes weird, just not chocolatey enough for me.
