    You can either buy it or make.  When I make hot fudge, all I do
    is melt 2 squares of unsweetnered chocolate in a double boiler.
    When complete melted, add a can of CONDENSED milk(not evaporated)to
    the chocolate and stir till smooth.
    
    Most ice cream places will sell you their hot fudge sauce.  If you
    have a Steve's Ice Cream near you, they have wonderful hot fudge.

    RE: .1
    
    As I strongly suspect there is not a Steve's Ice Cream within 3,000
    miles of you, I will gladly send you a few cans of chocolate sauce.
    It won't travel too well in interoffice mail, so send me your home
    address.  I owe you.

My hot fudge sauce is a genache with butter added.

Bring 8 ounces heavy cream with vanilla bean to a boil in a heavy sauce pan.
Remove from heat, remove bean, add 5 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate
(you may call it bitter-sweet) and stir to blend well.  Beat in 3 tablespoons
chilled, unsalted butter, cut into small chunks, one chunk at a time.
Warmed up, this makes a nice fudge sauce...cooled, it becomes a solid 
base buttercream and can be used for many other things.

Other flavors that can be added include a couple of tablespoons of your
favorite liquour...adults only.

    ANOTHER RECIPE:
    
    1 cup granulated sugar
    3-4 tsp (heaping) cocoa
    1 cup milk
    
    Mix sugar & cocoa together.  Add milk & bring to a boil.  When starts
    boiling lower & cook 15 - 20 minutes, until thikened.
    
    Hope you like it, I love it!

    Although there are many recipes for hot fudge sauce (available in
    most basic cookbooks and also in desset cookbooks), my personal
    favorite for purchasing is Bailey's.  Bailey's is a long-standing
    icecream shop with locations in Boston, Harvard Square and Chestnut
    Hill (also in Belmont Center and may be other locations that I'm
    not aware of).  They make excellent hot fudge sauce which can be
    purchased by pint, quart, etc.  Locally, the Vermont Creamery in
    Concord Ctr. and Steve's ICecream in Lexington Ctr. also sell very
    good hot fudge sauce for ready-to-go.  Making it from scratch can
    be as simple as heating Hershey's syrup (not very sophisticated,
    but it serves the purpose) or getting more complicated with unsweetened
    Swiss chocolate, butter, sugar, etc. and doing it in a double boiler.
    I'm being vague on the ingredients and amounts and process because
    I don't have this information with me.  If you want to pursue exact
    recipes, let me know and I'll check my Larousse or Escoffier books.
    Good luck and good eating!
    

    Does anyone have the Hershey cookbook?  My father has been fantasizing about
    this Chocoloate syrup (ice cream topping) his mother use to make when he 
    was little.  
   
   Well I've contacted Grandma - and she has searched everywhere for this
   recipe, but can't find it.  However, she thinks it was on the Hershey
   box and has sent away for their cookbook. I'm sure this is not going to
   arrive before Christmas and I wanted to make it for him as his Christmas 
   present.

   Anyone out there able to assist me with this request?

       I have a cookbook called Hershey's Chocolate Classics. Listed 
       inside arseveral chocolate sauces.

        Chocolate Nut Sauce
        Chocolate Sauce
        Easy Hot Fudge Sauce
        Hot Fudge Sauce
        Microwave Classic Chocolate Sauce
        Mt. Gretna Chocolate Fondue
        Scrumptious Chocolate Layer Bars

     To avoid entering all of the above, which one (or two) would you 
     like to see?
     

    Here's one for Cocoa Syrup from the Hershey's Make It Chocolate book:
    
    Cocoa Syrup
    -----------
    
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    3/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa
    Dash salt
    1 cup hot water
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    
    In medium saucepan combine sugar, cocoa and salt.  
    Gradually add water, stirring to keep mixture
    smooth.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly
    until mixture boils; boil and stir 3 minutes.  Remove
    from heat; add vanilla.  Pour into heatproof container.
    Cool; cover and refrigerate.  Use as topping for ice cream
    and desserts, or for chocolate flavored drinks.
    
    About 2 cups syrup.

   re:  .2 (syrup). 

   I believe .3 may have it.  I know it was a simple chocolate (runny) type
    sauce.  It does not have any expensive ingredients (i.e. butter, cream)
    so my guess it is the Chocolate Sauce.  (but I'd like to have the Hot   
    Fudge recipe).  If your Chocolate sauce matches .3 that MUST be it.
    and if you have a minute could you type in the Hot Fudge for good measure?


    THANKS BUNCHES!
