Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce from Food Family Style

Published August 13, 2012 | By Jennifer Sikora

I love getting new cookbooks. I read them like I read a regular book. If you are an absolute foodie like me, you might find yourself doing the same thing. I recently got a new cookbook from author Leigh Oliver Vickery — Food Family Style. This cookbook is SO full of delicious family recipes, I had a hard time deciding what I was going to make. Since we needed a really good dessert, I decided to make the Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce you will find on page 252 in the cookbook.
