I made homemade hot fudge for our Family Night last night, and as we were devouring it, I thought to myself how perfect it would be to give as a gift.
So, I poured the leftover fudge into small canning jars (next time I'll use wide-mouthed, but this is what I had in my pantry), spray painted the lid cream, then added a darling label ("This year will be sweet, with you as my teacher!) and some ribbon.
This tag is for a first day of school gift, but it could easily be changed to an end of the year gift as well. And how yummy for holiday neighbor gifts?
Whether you give it as a gift, or make it for your family, this simple recipe is sure to please. In under 15 minutes, you can have delicious hot fudge sauce, using ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
Hot Fudge Sauce
6 T. butter
2 c. powdered sugar
3 T. cocoa
1 c. evaporated milk
Over low heat melt butter thoroughly. Add sugar and cocoa. Mix well, then gradually add milk. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from stove, then serve warm or cold.
Enjoy!

What a wonderful idea! I am thinking Christmas!:) Thanks for sharing! Lori
Always such great ideas!! :)
I sent you some emails regarding the Creative Chick Parade (to gmail). Can you email me your current email address so that you don't miss anything? Thanks!!! :) xoxo
Thanks for the idea! So cute.
what a great idea!
love this idea!
How long do you think this will keep in the fridge? Sounds like a fabulous gift!
It keeps in the fridge about a week. If it lasts that long! :)
Great idea! As a former teacher, I can guarantee that this will be a hit!
Kierste,
What a wonderful idea! I am a teacher and like to give gifts to our secretaries and custodians and with a little tweeking the sauce will be wonderful. The perfect universal gift-who doesn't like chocolate!
Thanks for the inspiration.
How much does this make??
You always have the greatest ideas. Thanks.
Country Dreaming--
It probably makes enough for 4 jars as shown above. We ate a lot of it, so I am estimating. If you were doing this for neighbor gifts, you could easily double or triple it to get more.
Talked about you again today....can't help myself. http://leemeandthegirls.blogspot.com/2010/08/and-award-goes-to.html
wow, what an awesome idea this is! Perfect for Christmas too inside of gift baskets with sprinkles, cherries, and cute bowls!
I love this idea of giving the teacher a gift on the first day of school! LOVING this hot fudge idea, just might have to do it! Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for the answer!!!

I love this idea!! I've been trying to think of cute wedding favors that people will actually enjoy!! This would be a great one to do and would look super cute on each plate!! Thanks for the idea!
I love this! I have already used this for multiple gifts for multiple people. So easy and cute! Thanks for sharing it!
I love this.. I am making 'puppy chow' and am using this exact idea, just replacing the name. I am doing clear baggies with ribbon as well, and doing this as a sticker. and for our old teachers I cahnged it to, this is going to be a sweet year because you helped prepare me!
excited! thanks!
I did this! (and forgot to take pictures, of course) per your sugestion for my boys' teachers. I have to say your recipe is the best one i've tested. (yields 2 pints)
And my one son's teacher said she never got a beginning of the year gift before!
Thanks for the great idea and total execution of it as well!
