It's glorious, despite (I believe) being Dutched.</p> You really need to get some Valrhôna cocoa powder. It’s glorious, despite (I believe) being Dutched.

But I have to disagree with one thing.

My favorite hot fudge is made with cocoa powder, not chocolate.

1 cup cocoa, 1 cup sugar, 2 cups heavy cream, 2 oz butter, 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Sift the cocoa, sugar, salt. Scald cream and whisk in to cocoa in 3 additions. Return to pot, add butter, and stir over low until shiny.

You can sample it over ice cream at Molly Moon’s in Wallingford now!

I use cocoa barry’s extra brute http://www.cacao-barry.com/en/136 And like Aunt Patties all natural from Oregon as well.

I no longer like Drost at all, although I did for years. I haven’t gone near hersheys in years, but might give the all natural a try next time I need some for home.
