I have a habit of writing in all of my cookbooks, journals, and on my recipe cards – important information to note when making any recipe. I also have a book and assorted note cards listing each party we have had, what we served, photos of the table, amounts of all of the food served, number attending and any after party reflections. When I write a recipe on the inside cover of a cookbook, I know that it is a great recipe. I always place my favorite recipes in the main areas of each book. Well, this recipe has a prime location in my collection. On the inside cover of one of my favorite cookbooks. I also have notes that this is my son’s favorite – to me that immediately tells me I have a winning recipe. I think there is nothing better than a hot fudge sundae (well, maybe a peanut butter sundae) anyway, if you like hot fudge, you will love this recipe.
