Marshmallow Hot Fudge Sauce

How are you going to celebrate New Year's Day?  Having brunch for everyone? Or just watching the games?  I chose to celebrate with decadence after discovering this incredibly rich, silky-smooth hot fudge sauce--it's snowing in Chicago, but I figured "why not", it's the New Year!


Perfect for a large crowd.  Use this on ice cream, use it as a dipping sauce, use it to flavor your shakes, pour it on cupcakes--heck, you may just spoon-feed yourself--that's how good this stuff is. Never underestimate the value of knowing how to put a good hot fudge chocolate sauce together--even as a college student! 

I know you can buy bottled sauce but they are always "chemical"--this takes a few minutes total time to make--literally, in the time it takes for your ice cream to soften, this will be ready!
