Old time Hershey's chocolate sauce recipe

Question

Years ago I had a recipe that came off the Hershey's cocoa can for a chocolate ice cream sauce. It contained butter and you cooked it on top of the stove with a whisk. It is a sauce, not syrup and not hot fudge. I've lost the recipe and can't find it anywhere.

Anyone out there remember this recipe?

Answer 1

I was able to find these two recipes:

Hershey's Warm Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons HERSHEY'®S Cocoa

1 teaspoon potato starch

3/4 cup evaporated milk

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

  

1. Stir together sugar, cocoa and potato starch in small saucepan. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Add butter; stir until melted. Cool slightly.

Chocolate Fudge Sauce

From "Hershey's 1934 Cookbook" published by Hershey Chocolate Company

1/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 Tbl. cornstarch

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup milk

2 Tbl. butter

2 tsp. vanilla

Combine dry ingredients in sauce pan. Add corn syrup and milk, and blend thoroughly. Bring to a boil, boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool, without stirring, until pan feels warm to hand. Serv. Yield: 1-1/2 cupfuls sauce.

Answer 2

My mother used to make this - it was yummy!  She no longer has the recipe but said she thought it had evaporated milk in it.  I found this recipe - haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty good:

Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Sugar

1/3 cup Light corn syrup

1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa

1/3 cup Butter

5 ounces Evaporated milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Directions:

Combine sugar and cocoa in small saucepan; blend in evaporated milk and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils; boil and stir one minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Serve warm.

Answer 3

This might not be it either, but my mom has made this for over 50 years.

Skillet Sundae Sauce

In ¼ c. melted butter, lightly brown 1 c. coarsely chopped nuts.  Remove from heat.  Add 12 oz. chocolate chips.  Stir until melted and pour over ice cream.

Answer 4

I'm not sure of that one, but this is a delicious and easy sauce for ice cream;

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 2/3 cups white sugar

1 1/4 cups water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cocoa, sugar and water. Bring to a boil and let boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
