If you are serving this at a party you can keep the hot fudge sauce warm by turning your slow cooker to the WARM setting for up to 4 hours. You may need to stir the sauce from time to time. A great idea for a ice cream sundae party!
This recipe works well with both milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips (as well as the semi-sweet chocolate chips mentioned in the recipe). So feel free to make this using your preferred kind of chocolate!
Once cooked the hot fudge is best used up within 2 weeks. Although, I can almost promise you it won’t last that long when you realize how amazing it tastes. I have been known to eat a spoonful straight from the jar from time to time. 🙂

can this sit in the crock pot on low for a party
Yes it can Karen!
Can this be frozen?
Hi Barbara, I have not tried freezing this recipe for Chocolate Fudge Sauce but I think it should work. If you give it a try be sure to come back and let us know how it worked out for you.
Using a larger crockpot, does water need to be added like a double boiler?
Hi Sylvia, this recipe has not been tested in a larger sized Crock-Pot. However if I were to try it, I would insert a heat-safe bowl inside the larger sized slow cooker and cook the sauce in the bowl. No need to add water around/under the larger bowl like a double boiler. The smaller bowl will prtect the sauce from being in a too thin of a layer and over cooking.
Be sure to come on back and rate the recipe and let us know how it turned out for you!
One batch states it makes 10 servings. What is the size of each serving, i.e., 1 Tablespoon, 2 Tablespoons, or does one batch make 1 cup? Also, if doubling or tripling the recipe, would a larger crockpot be better, i.e., a 6 qt crockpot? Thanks!
Hi Jacquelyn servings for all our recipes here are simply the entire finished recipe divided by the number of servings listed. We do not measure out the serving size on most of our recipes because when we started this website we didn’t list the nutritional information so we don’t know by volume how much each recipe makes. So for this recipe for Crock-Pot Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce a serving is 10th of the finished recipe.
If doubling this recipe a larger slow cooker would be good.
