Homemade Chocolate Sauce

Sorry for the lack of posting, my daughter and I just spent a week visiting family and friends in Montana.  We got home very late last night, well very early this morning actually.  Either way I'm very tired.  I promise to post some pictures of our vacation soon.

I made this chocolate sauce just before Christmas and we LOVED it! Full of chocolate and simple to make.  Great to make chocolate milk or as a topping.

I love this sauce because you probably have all the ingredients in your house to make this right now and you will not regret having it.  We started to look for reasons or ways to use it.

Put this on your "must try" list!
