Hot fudge at Nichols
Does anyone else really like the hot fudge sundaes at Nichols in Marina del Rey? I think the sauce is the best I have had, and better than anything I have been able to make at home. The menu says it is housemade with Scharffenberger. It has a very rich chocolate flavor, not too sweet, and it doesn't harden on the ice cream. Has anyone tried to recreate it at home? I'd love to hear if you have ideas about how you would go about making it, or have tried to make a similar sauce at home. What is your favorite local hot fudge sundae?

I don't know about recreating it, but I have friends who love hot fudge sauce...and they buy the one in jars at Lawry's. They claim it's the only place to buy it, and it comes from an ice cream shop that was around for years and is now closed. (Brown's?)

C.C. Brown's, a Hollywood institution, created the hot fudge sundae. There was a time when either Gelson's or Bristol Farms sold C.C. Brown's, but Lawry's acquired the rights and sells it exclusively. Lawry's also sells it online.

You can find discussion of making your own hot fudge on the Home Cooking board where all things recipe are talked about. Here is one such thread on a recipe for the elixir: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/600808
