Mom's Hot Fudge Sauce

This sauce works on cake, ice cream and cream puffs... or eat it cold by the spoonful. It reheats easily in the microwave and tastes better the more often it is reheated.

It's possible to substitute higher-grade bitter chocolate but not necessary.

Any kind of milk works, including soy milk.
