1. Melt the Butter

• Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.

2. Add the Chocolate Chips

• Once the butter has melted, add the chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously as the chocolate melts, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth and lump-free.

3. Stir in the Sweetened Condensed Milk

• Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the saucepan. Stir well to combine. At first, the butter might separate slightly, but keep stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and silky.

4. Simmer and Finish

• Let the sauce simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t scorch at the bottom. Remove the pan from heat once the sauce is thick and glossy.

5. Serve and Store

• Serve the hot fudge sauce warm over ice cream, brownies, or pancakes. If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
