Aunt Elisabeth's Hot Fudge Sauce

1 stick butter

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips (if you use milk chips, it will not thicken!)

1 can evaporated milk (12 oz.)

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Melt butter on low heat. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted. Add milk and sugar, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil on medium-low heat (still stirring constantly). Once boiling, allow to boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Sauce will thicken upon standing.
