How to Make Quick And Yummy Hot Fudge Sauce

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until completely melted.
Add the powdered milk, cocoa powder, and sugar to the saucepan. Whisk in the water until a smooth paste forms, ensuring no lumps remain.
Continue to stir constantly over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and burning.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the hot fudge sauce stand for 2-3 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly. Serve warm over your favorite vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
