Ice Cream Topping

The original recipe for this came from the Detroit Free Press and is supposed to be an imitation of Sanders' Hot Fudge. It is very rich and absolutely delicious--here is my version:

Bring to boil in 2 quart saucepan:

2 sticks butter
1 cup simple syrup (fill a jar a little more than 3/4's full with sugar and then fill to within about an inch of the top with warm water. Shake well and let sit until sugar is dissolved.)
12 oz. Nestle's milk chocolate chips (actually I think they now come in 11 oz bags--still works)

Add one can sweetened condensed milk and return just to boil.

Done! Serve warm:)

Variations: try using semi-sweet chocolate chips (my favorite), Butterscotch chips (best to use Nestle's--they melt the smoothest), or Reese's Peanut Butter chips. Ummm...they're all good!

Makes about 5 cups.
