    When you need the sauce just put it in the microwave stirring every 10 seconds until warm and portable

  15. My notes for disabled:

    Ingredients
    1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
    ⅔ cup milk
    ¼ tsp salt
    ⅓ cup cocoa
    3 oz unsweetened chocolate, (chopped)
    ½ stick butter, cut into 8 pieces
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Preparation Steps
    1. Whisk together sugar, milk and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes or until sugar is completely dissolved.
    2. Once it starts to bubble around the edges, turn heat down to low and add cocoa. Whisk until smooth.
    3. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate. Whisk until smooth and chocolate is fully melted.
    4. Whisk in butter, one piece at a time.
    5. Once the butter is fully incorporated, whisk in the vanilla.

    Notes
    The butter thickens the sauce and strengthens the emulsification so the sauce won’t break when reheated.

    Refrigerate up to a month.

    Gently reheat in microwave, stirring every 10 seconds.

  17. I made this sauce. Instead of unsweetened chocolate, I used 37% cocoa milk chocolate. It was delishhhhhh … 🥰🤤 just amazing as a hot fudge on vanilla custard ice-cream! BUT after refrigeration it became something else. THE MOST AMAZING chocolate spread I have ever tasted. No exaggeration. I'm allergic to Nutella and I've never found an acceptable alternative, but this blows Nutella out of the water! This is now my go-to 'accidentally nut-free' homemade chocolate spread. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe.

  20. Its delicioussssssss❤️❤️❤️❤️ I made this, I also made homemade brownies and vanilla ice cream. The combination of the 3 is a killerrr😻
    Tip: Have it cold, keep it refrigerated till its cold enough, it tastes just like Mc Donalds chocolate sauce which I absolutely love….

  25. I made it tonight and it has the purest chocolate taste of any chocolate sauce I have ever known. This was so good that putting it over ice cream diluted the chocolate flavor, which was disappointing, haha! Better to eat this straight from the spoon and totally pure. Thank you very much.

  28. Since I put this on ice cream, which is for me sickly sweet anyway, I didn't add sugar to the recipe, and WOW! It was chocolatey, but it was still helped by the sweetness of the ice cream. It was delectible!

    If you want to boost the flavour even darker, add a quarter teaspoon – with the cacao – of freeze-dried coffee … incredibly dark and especially over some über-choco-cocolate-fudge ice cream … MAN!!!
