THE BEST CHOCOLATE SAUCE ON EARTH!!! This is the only recipe I use (from Elinor Klivan's Bake and Freeze Chocolate Desserts), and it is just marvelous. The thick, fudgy, and gooey nature of this sauce will make your mouth water! *Prep time is cooking time.*

I was disappointed in this sauce at first. I thought it was not thick, fudgey or gooey but then I let it sit at room temperature for about an hour and the sauce thickened up beautifully! It was wonderfully glossy, too. It is not a real sweet chocolate sauce which I think is good because it is most likely going to be served with something that is very sweet such as ice cream or cake, etc. Plan ahead when you make this. You need to give it time to set up. As an aside, I met Elinor Klivan several years ago and she was a gracious, lovely lady.

This is a really great sauce! It was very thick for what I was using it for, which was cheesecake. I added more cream to make it thinner and it turned out excellent. Would be a great thickness for ice cream topping.
