hot fudge sauce

I found this recipe many years ago (1979) in a small (4" x 7") Hershey's Cocoa Cookbook. Of course it calls for Hershey's Cocoa, but I use Droste or other Dutch process cocoa instead. Over the years I added more vanilla, the pinch of cinnamon, and the espresso powder to enrich the flavor. For those unfamiliar, Dutch process cocoa has been "treated with alkali to reduce bitterness and acidity, resulting in a cocoa with dark color and deep, mellow chocolatey flavor." (from the Droste website). I guarantee this beats anything you can buy from the grocery store.
