You may never purchase chocolate sauce again after tasting the rich flavor of this one. And it's so easy to make!
I don't know where my Aunt Lorna got this recipe but in was in the files she passed down to me, and I've been making it for years.
I makes a wonderful gift, as the recipient can keep it in the refrigerator for at least a couple of weeks and pour it on anything that benefits from a chocolate sauce.
It's especially wonderful after the holidays when something sweet is wanted for just a few calories. Then I put in on a dish of bananas and pecans, sweeten yogurt with it, or use it on angel food cake with oranges.
