The only hot fudge sauce made from 99.99% pure Nacional cacao from Peru.

The artisan dark chocolate that goes into Heavens to Betsy is sourced exclusively from Issaquah’s Fortunato No. 4 and the family farms in Peru’s Marañón Canyon, a region known for some of the world’s finest cacao. It’s not just “Fair Trade” chocolate either. It’s honorable, too. Fortunato No. 4 buys organically grown, Nacional cacao at an average of 10 times Fair Trade premiums from over 500 individual family farms. It’s the cacao from these farms — the only 99.99% pure Nacional cacao in the world — that goes into every mmmmm-inducing jar of handmade Heavens to Betsy Hot Fudge Sauce.

Hot Fudge Maven

A blend of curiosity, trial and error, passion and a lot of hard work, Heavens to Betsy is the decadent result of its namesake’s frustration with overly sweet fudge sauces. With nothing available to sate her palette, Betsy embarked on a 24 month, kitchen-disheveling journey to concoct some of the most sophisticated dark chocolate fudge sauces ever poured, licked, dipped into, or scraped from the bottom of a jar.

What people are saying:

The Midnight dark chocolate fudge sauce is absolutely the best! It’s become my go-to hostess gift and always gets rave reviews!
KIM L // CALIFORNIA
You may think Heavens to Betsy fudge sauce is a condiment… it’s not. It is the main course. A jar… a spoon… and a private moment! It is nothing to be ashamed about!!
TIM R // ISSAQUAH
I've enjoyed every flavor H2B makes, each silky smooth and gently kissed with hints of almond, orange, espresso, or cherry, and none overpowering the real reason we came to this party: the insane richness of the chocolate.
CHRIS S // VANCOUVER
Almond is my favorite. I love the smooth and creamy texture. It makes me feel so decadent!
MELINDA C // SF BAY AREA
I gave Heavens to Betsy to my work colleagues. They were over the moon. A common refrain was that the jar was literally GONE in two days. Spoonfuls of the chocolate and on top of ice cream were the bomb.
ALLYSON B // ORANGE COUNTY
We keep it simple with vanilla bean ice cream. A quick heat in the microwave and ta-da! — a warm, luxurious topping that takes dessert to a whole new level. We love espresso and midnight. PS — they make great gifts, too!
SUE M // BRECKENRIDGE
Vanilla ice cream will never be the same. Heavens to Betsy quenches my mid-afternoon chocolate craving. I occasionally find myself grabbing it from the fridge and enjoying one amazing spoonful... well maybe two!
TAMI // ISSAQUAH
I ordered Heavens to Betsy as holiday gifts for my friends… ended up keeping five for myself, since once I tried one flavor I had to try them all. The almond is decadence for almond lovers and the espresso is dark coffee goodness. My friends are already asking for more!
JANE // BOULDER
Heavens to Betsy fudge sauce is soooo yummy on ice cream! It reminds me of my grandmother’s fudge recipe but is so much easier.
ANNE B // SAN FRANCISCO
This chocolate sauce is so rich and creamy. Its sweetness is just right. I love to treat myself by taking a teaspoon out of the jar and savoring every lick!! But it’s also delish warmed up over ice cream or melted in a latte!
MICHELE R // WOODINVILLE
I can't get enough of the orange one. I find myself looking for excuses to break it out. But I also love having so many flavor options.

Sophisticated dark chocolate hot fudge sauce. It’s legal, but it doesn’t taste like it.

©2024 Heavens to Betsy, LLC. All rights reserved.

Heavens to Betsy’s unique, sophisticated taste begins in Peru’s Marañón Canyon, a region known for the world’s finest cacao. The location, geography and climate form a Peruvian nirvana, yielding beans with a flavor and tartness that’s unrivaled in all the world.

Once harvested, the wet Fortunato No. 4 cacao beans are scraped from their pods, and inspected for defective beans before fermenting — a process that further’s the unique nature of Peruvian cacao because of the specific yeast found only in this region. After a second inspection on the drying tables, the beans are bagged for shipping to Switzerland to make Fortunato No. 4 chocolate.

Roasting, breaking the beans down to cocoa nibs and conching the chocolate (mixing and evenly distributing the cocoa butter) removes moisture and adds to the viscosity while improving the flavor. The conched chocolate is then tempered and molded, ready to be shipped to Issaquah.

Once in the Heavens to Betsy kitchen, Fortunato’s super dark 68% chocolate is meticulously melted, then combined with fresh heavy cream, butter, dutched cocoa, brown sugar and a fair amount of elbow grease, as we follow our original Midnight recipe that took two years to perfect.

One of the most crucial steps in our process is the actual cooking, requiring constant stirring at a precise temperature for an exact period of time. At this stage, we also augment our original Midnight recipe to create our orange, cherry, almond and espresso flavors before packaging.

There’s no reason to go through the Heavens to Betsy process if not for you, because it’s the sensory experience of tasting our silky hot fudge sauce over a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, drizzled over cookies or straight from the jar that makes it all worth it, and is our raison d’ etre.
