Make Chocolate Sauce

I’m not one to toot my own horn, but I have to make an exception in this case. My chocolate sauce kicks store-bought chocolate sauce’s butt. For real. One drizzle of this and you’ll never want to buy chocolate sauce again. You’ll be all – I’m making chocolate sauce from scratch, ALL THE TIME. Even if you’ve been telling yourself you can’t cook or it’s too hard or it’s easier to just buy it. Seriously, give me 10 minutes, four ingredients and your life will be forever changed. **Overstatement Alert*** (Your life will be forever changed only to the extent that you LOVE chocolate.)

I use semisweet chocolate chips for this recipe but you can swap them out for milk chocolate chips for a sweeter version or dark chocolate for a less sweet taste. The corn syrup helps prevent the sauce from completely solidifying as it cools, though it will firm up when chilled. Simply pop it in the microwave for 10-second intervals to return it to its drizzly perfection. You can store this in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two weeks, but who are we kidding?

Don’t be afraid to spread the love. This sauce ain’t just for ice cream. I slather it on crepes, dip fresh strawberries in it, stir it into a glass of milk for a tasty chocolate milk treat, or just eat it directly from a spoon. Your choice, Boo.

Just raid your pantry, grab a spoon and get ready for all chocolate sauce everything!
