How to Make Martha Stewart's Hot Fudge Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, cocoa powder, evaporated milk, and salt.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  4. Set a timer and simmer for exactly 3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. (Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
  7. To reheat, microwave in short bursts (10-15 seconds at a time) until warmed through, or gently heat in a double boiler until smooth and pourable. Do not overheat.
