I’ve discovered something completely awesome in Maine, but I’m assuming it’s not sold only in Maine:
You put the bottle in the microwave for a minute and then dispense at will. It makes it easy to achieve the important 50/50 ice cream to hot fudge ratio. Then you put the bottle back in the fridge and microwave it again later. I mean the next day. It suffers no ill effects from being repeatedly heated and cooled.
I hear you. I blew through a jar of that stuff embarrassingly fast. If you’re looking for a taste of topping that really isn’t found much outside of Maine and New Hampshire, try Stonewall Kitchen.
I’ve just found out that the finest Hot Fudge I’ve ever had, C.C. Brown’s, is still available online. They closed their ice cream parlor after I moved out of LA, and I thought it was gone forever. But it apparently isn’t, so I ordered some.
