  1. Combine ingredients in small saucepan and bring to a low boil.

I like to make a double batch of this sauce and share it with neighbors and friends. It’s delicious over ice cream, and also poured over the top of cake or eaten straight out of a very big spoon. Enjoy!

  1. This would be dangerous in front of me. I remember that when I was a kid, I used to drink chocolate syrup my Mom bought for my chocolate drink. πŸ˜€ The case would be the same with this chocolate-y rich ganache! Thanks for sharing! I hope you are having fun at Fiesta Friday party.
