Today kicks off “Chocolate is for Lovers” week on The Budget Diet! Each day, I'll feature a frugalicious chocolate treat perfect for Valentine's Day! Lucy from Peanuts said it best, “All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!
Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce
Give this 10 minute hot fudge recipe a try, and you'll never buy the stuff in a jar again...I promise! Delicious on ice cream or just about any dessert that needs a little extra chocolate like my Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie or Fudge Pie.

This is brilliant – and has me thinking about possibly making this into a peanut butter sauce recipe. We were just talking last night about how much we love peanut butter sauce but can only get it at Friendly’s anymore, it seems. Now you have me thinking 😉
You speak my language — chocolate!
Yum! We are going to be making some homemade ice cream this weekend. Maybe we’ll try the homemade hot fudge sauce too!
