2 t. Vanilla
3 T. Butter If using salter butter, omit salt in recipe

1 ½ c. Granulated sugar

Instructions

Into a saucepan, add:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup evaporated milk
¼ teaspoon salt*
1½ cups granulated sugar

This recipe makes a thick and creamy, rich fudge sauce to be used for many desserts as a sauce on a plate, a drizzle or topping. Thin with additional milk as desired. Better to start thick and thin as desired than to make it too thin – you can’t go back!

Notes

Can easily be made ahead and reheated for a quick dessert topping or sauce.

Use other extract flavors for an interesting change of accent! Peppermint, orange, almond, etc.
