Simple Hot Fudge Sauce (only 5 ingredients)

I love this recipe!  It's contains only five ingredients that you likely have on hand.  I made this sauce to smother some banana splits I made using homemade vanilla and strawberry ice cream, topped with chopped bananas and macadamia nuts.  The fam loved them!  Creamy dreamy goodness!  I got this recipe from my Grandma and I don't think it will ever be replaced with an alternate hot fudge sauce.  It's quick, simple and indulgently delicious.  It's also great for many other uses, top cakes, brownies, cookies, pastries, churros, pancakes =), sundaes, parfaits and shakes. Now go ahead, live a little, and make yourself some.
