Salted Caramel Hot Fudge

This Salted Caramel Hot Fudge is not only great over ice cream, it’s an awesome addition to milkshakes and over cakes! Perfect for holiday gifting – just pour into jars, add a cute ribbon, and gift away! 

Salted Caramel Hot Fudge 2

Let’s just be real – life without hot fudge isn’t even worth living. Luscious, rich, and warm fudge over your ice cream or whatever dessert, makes it a truly decadent dessert course. I’ve adapted this recipe from the one we make at the restaurant and tweaked it to make it home-friendly. At the restaurant, we use just a dark cocoa powder to make this fudge recipe, but today I’m using Ghirardelli’s Chocolate Caramel Hot Cocoa powdered mix and it seriously just pushes this recipe over the edge!

The brand new cocoas from Ghirardelli are rich and with an intense chocolate flavor, perfect for all the hot chocolate we’ll be making during the cold New England winter months. The new flavors include: Chocolate Mocha Hot Cocoa, and Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa, Chocolate Caramel Hot Cocoa. 

Salted Caramel Hot Fudge 4

Add a drizzle of this to your morning coffee for a mocha-style drink or over brownies for a quick and easy dessert! Sure, you can buy a jar of fudge at the store for $3.99, and sure, sometimes it really hits the spot, but listen to me. NOTHING is better than this recipe. I’ve made it for the past three years and every year I pat myself on the back for not going into the walk-in fridge and just drinking a whole batch of it. Oh, and for those of you who want to make a case of the high fructose corn syrup in this? I’ll hear you out but won’t stop making this recipe. Everything in moderation, including moderation, correct?

    My favorite chocolate recipe that I’ve actually made would have to be a really simple recipe my mom probably found on a box of Jello pudding mix years ago called Triple Chocolate Cake which is basically a box of chocolate cake mix, a box chocolate pudding, and some chocolate chips and baked in a bundt pan. Best served cold so that the chocolate chips re-solidify. I’ve been meaning to do a from scratch version of it for a while but haven’t gotten around to it.
