I always miss my dad so much around the holidays. One thing that he loved was chocolate oranges. I thought it would be fun to make a treat to give my friends and neighbors that celebrated his love the holidays. So here is some yummy Orange Hot Fudge Sauce. And a FREE printable. Just cut it out and put it on top of a mason jar. It’s the perfect size!

I adapted the recipe from …

… one from Your Home Based Mom. Head over there to see the plain chocolate version.

Orange Hot Fudge Sauce

Ingredients

• Zest of one orange cut into strips
• 2 cups of dark chocolate chips
• 1 can Evaporated Milk 1 1/3 cup
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1 Tsp. Orange Extract
• 1 Tsp. Vanilla

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate chips, milk, butter and powdered sugar in a heavy sauce pan.
2. Add the orange zest.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring all the while.
5. After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and take out the orange zest strips. Let the mixture cool and get thicker.
6. After about 10 minutes, add the vanilla and orange extract and stir to incorporate.
7. Use a funnel and pour the chocolate sauce into your jars. I used 4 ounce canning jars. I doubled the recipe and it made 18 4-ounce jars of sauce.

I added a little washi tape to the edges of the lid for some festive Holiday color. So easy! And if you want to add a little more to the gift, you can pair it with an ice cream scoop or a pint of ice cream!
