Hawaiian Kona Chocolate Sauce

Adapted from Taste of Home. The recipe is from a coffee producer in Hawaii. I like it stirred into hot coffee. If you make this in advance, it will need a thorough stirring before serving, and a gentle reheating in the microwave to remelt the butter. This will not be a thick sauce.
