University Housing still serves up homemade hot fudge sauce over ice cream at its cafeterias across campus. It's a UW original that has tempted the taste buds of many students over the years. If you try making this recipe at home, please keep in mind that it will produce a pound of the chocolatey confection. After all, it's scaled to satisfy a large number of hungry Badgers!
