ice cream fridays anyone?

on friday chad and i cooked home made hot fudge to put on an ice cream friday for chad and to put in a hot fudge milk shake for me! it was pretty delicious. you know, hot fudge shakes taste totally different than plain old chocolate milk shakes. if you're not privy to these kinds of things then, well, i feel bad for you. but, i'm here to deliver the good news: you can discover the goodness of your own home-made hot fudge shake any time! that's right, in your very own kitchen! all you need is:

vanilla ice cream

for sauce: 2c. sugar
1c. brown sugar
1c. cocoa
2 Tb. flour
1/4c. butter
1 1/5 c. water

mix all dry ingredients together, then add butter and water. simmer while stirring for about 4 min. then serve over ice cream or in blender for shake. serves 12.

p.s. if you didn't notice, this recipe serves 12 so chad and i cut it in half and had left overs. it's always the best on the first day, so take into consideration how much you need!

p.p.s. for an even more super shake, add malt to make it a hot fudge malt. this my friends is my absolute favorite. i wasn't able to do it because we didn't have malt-i cried (almost).
