The Legendary Hot Fudge Sauce: A Family Recipe with a Twist

My mom was known for two things: her amazing hot fudge sauce and her knack for keeping secrets. She had a rule: everyone could taste the sauce, but no one—absolutely no one—got the recipe.

For years, friends, neighbors, and even family tried to crack the code. But Mom? She always had a sly smile and a laugh whenever anyone asked. Her response was always the same: "I’ll make you a jar, but the recipe? That stays with me."

As our family grew, so did the requests for her hot fudge. Teachers, friends, and neighbors were hooked, but Mom never budged on sharing the recipe. That’s when I decided to carry on her tradition and share the sauce itself. The recipe might be a secret, but the sauce is too good not to share.

Now it’s your turn. Grab a jar, warm it up, and enjoy the rich, velvety goodness that has had people begging for years. But sorry—the recipe? That’s still between us

Cedar Cliff Kitchen is a labor of love that began in Indiana, nurtured in our mom's kitchen. Now proudly crafted in Chicago, our hot fudge sauce carries the heart and flavors of our Hoosier roots with each spoon full. It's a tribute to our family's legacy and the warmth of our Indiana beginnings.
