Homemade Caramel and Hot Fudge Ice Cream Topping

So I wanted to try a couple of ice cream toppings for a baby shower that I was going to.  I found these recipes on Pinterest.  What in the world did we ever do without Pinterest?  This hot fudge recipe is really, really rich and so full of chocolate that it should cure any chocolate craving that you might have.  I didn't have any Ghiradelli chocolate chips so I used a semi-sweet baking chocolate bar.  It was very yummy.  I hope you try it and enjoy!
