Although tasty, this was not nice and thick like hot fudge should be. The only thing I changed was to use chocolate chips instead of bittersweet chocolate, as that is what I had on hand. This had the consistency and taste of Hershey's Syrup. If they could re-formulate this recipe so that it would be thicker, they'd have a winner. In the meantime, I will just buy a bottle of Hershey's Syrup, instead of making this again.
