Hot chocolate season is here! Treat yourself with this gooey, chocolate sauce that will bring back childhood memories.
This is a recipe that has been in my family for ever! I don't know where it came from but if we wanted chocolate milk, hot chocolate or ice-cream sundaes, this is what we used. There was always a jar of this sauce made and waiting in the fridge.
When I look at the list of ingredients on a container of chocolate sauce in the grocery store it contains a lot of ingredients that I can't pronounce. I try not to eat unpronounceable ingredients and I sure don't want my kids eating them either. This Old Fashioned Chocolate Sauce has only real food ingredients and I have replaced the white sugar with organic cane sugar and so for a treat once in a while this is a good choice. It only takes about 5 minutes to make and lasts for up to a month in the fridge.
Lately I have also been using this sauce for a
Mini Cheesecake topping and drizzling it on Gluten Free Cream Puffs to make them extra special.
Old Fashioned Chocolate Sauce
