Yield: 1 1/2 cups.
What makes this recipe sing: The versatility of this sauce makes it the WOW hostess gift. Try with grilled fruit, over sponge cakes or even as a “no need for the fondue pot” chocolate dunk for fresh fruits, cookies and pound cakes. This sauce is a classic and of course perfect for your favorite ice cream… My choice is peppermint ice cream. Also, it makes for easily made smores and if all else fails, just use a good old-fashioned spoon!
BYOC: Try adding a swirl, by heating peanut butter and swirling in the fudge. Add your favorite toasted nuts, a drop of peppermint or orange oil, or even your favorite cereal for a crunchy fudge sauce.
