Recipe Notes & Tips

I’ve tested this recipe with honey in place of corn syrup, so feel free to use one or the other. Corn syrup is typically best for hot fudge to prevent crystallization or hardening of the sauce. It’s important to closely monitor the fudge while on the stove so it doesn’t burn. It should barely come to a simmer before it’s finished. Keep in mind that the longer the fudge stays off the heat, the thicker it will become.
