Hot Fudge {His and Hers}

We have 2 hot fudge recipes here, my husband likes the first one the best because it is his mom's recipe and he grew up with it, it is also more of a milk chocolate.  I on the other hand like the second one best which is more of a dark chocolate.  Either way they are both chocolatey and rich and delicious over vanilla ice cream.

{His}

2 1/2 c. sugar

5 TBL. cocoa

1 can evaporated milk

1 c. butter

Melt butter in pan on the stove.  Add remaining ingredients except vanilla and bring to boil, then boil for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Keep in quart size jar in the fridge.

{Hers}

4 TBL. butter

1 3/4 c. powdered sugar

3 TBL. cocoa

1 cup evaporated milk

vanilla if you want it

Melt butter in a pan on the stove.  Add powdered sugar and cocoa and mix as best you can.  Slowly whisk in a tiny bit of the milk and work out the lumps with a whisk, once most of the lumps are out pour in the remaining milk.  Bring to boil and then remove from heat and add vanilla if desired.  Fills a pint size jar, keep in refrigerator.  I doubled this but only put the 12 oz. can of evap milk so that I didn't have to open another just to waste the rest of it and it turned out just fine.
