HOT FUDGE SAUCE - MICROWAVE RECIPE
I got this recipe from my mom's microwave cookbook that came with their first microwave (back in the '80s). This sauce is great on ice cream (and pretty much anything you put regular hot fudge on). For best results, serve warm. To heat, microwave for 30 seconds at a time on medium to low power. I've put the sauce in a canning jar to give as gifts.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fudge will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%.
- Don't overcook the fudge: Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. Cook it just until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: Fudge will keep for up to two weeks at room temperature, or up to three months in the refrigerator.
- To make microwave fudge in the microwave, use a microwave-safe bowl and heat the fudge in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired consistency.
