No Guilt Hot Fudge Sauce

---

Per the galloping gourmet (graham kerr) this makes a thick rich sauce and he's right on with this description. The sauce thickens well, with a nice gloss and remains pourable even when chilled. I've made numerous batches of this recipe to dip strawberries and orange slices and to top that boring fat-free frozen yogurt. truth be know, i often sneak a spoonful straight-up while browsing the fridge. ;-)
