This seven ingredient Pumpkin Spice Hot Fudge Sauce is spiked with all the flavors of autumn. Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger are swirled into a velvety smooth dark chocolate sauce to create a deliciously decadent dessert topping.

I’ll admit it. I might be the only person on the face of the planet that has never had a pumpkin spice latte. Being a non-coffee drinker, it’s just not my jam. In fact, when the barista offered me one on the first day that they were available, I thought her eyes might bug out of her head when I politely declined. Instead, I pumpkin spice all the things BUT my drinks and tend to go the dessert route. This year, I’ve stocked my fridge with this Pumpkin Spice Hot Fudge Sauce for all my late night sweet cravings.

We’ve talked hot fudge sauce before. Remember my Mocha Hot Fudge Sauce? But this Pumpkin Spice Hot Fudge Sauce? It truly captures all the flavors of autumn and they’re all swirled in a decadently delicious dark chocolate sauce. That in and of itself should have you stepping away from your computer or phone and heading to the kitchen to prepare some right this very minute.

The secret to all of that autumn flavor and for keeping my sauce luxuriously smooth is Rodelle’s Pumpkin Spice Extract. Forget whisking in cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger and insuring that are no clumps. No sir (or ma’am)! I’ve let someone else do the hard work and instead took a flavor shortcut with this extract. As it’s in liquid form, it’s the perfect flavor agent for this chocolate sauce.
