This decadent, old-fashioned hot fudge recipe, courtesy of kelly carambula's the best remedy, originally comes from the old occidental hotel in muskegon, michigan, which opened in the 1860s as the town's main centerpiece in the days of the old west. The hotel flourished through the decades, a throwback to the time of horse-drawn carriages and a symbol of a thriving muskegon, where the lumber industry made it one of the wealthiest, most desirable cities. A highlight was the hotel's candy shop, which sold the best ice cream sundaes around featuring this hot fudge and making the recipe sought after. The old occidental remained the town's hotspot until 1975 when the once ornate building was sadly demolished to make way for the muskegon mall. (the mall was shut down and a culinary institute now stands in its place. )although the hotel is gone, its hot fudge recipe still lives on. And with just six ingredients and only 15 minutes, you will be able to taste the old-time flavor of this luxurious sauce in your own kitchen. So pick out your favorite ice cream and sundae toppings, or any other dessert that would go nicely with a warm, chocolatey dose of hot fudge, and ready yourself for a delicious treat.
