Refrigerator – The hot fudge sauce can be kept in the fridge for about the same amount of time as any store-bought jar. Store in an airtight container for about 3 months. Reheating – As for reheating, put in a saucepan on the stove and warm slowly until the fudge mixture thins enough to dip or drizzle. It will still be quite thick. Do not use the microwave – It is best not to reheat this sauce in the microwave. The chocolate will separate and harden quickly.
