Today I’m sharing our family favorite recipe for this simple chocolate sauce! This sauce is an absolutely perfect compliment to ice cream and/or cake… especially buttery pound cake.
We have also been known to serve this as a dip alongside a fruit tray. We sure enjoy dipping strawberries, bananas, and pineapples slices into this chocolate sauce for an extra decadent afternoon or game day snack!
How to make a simple chocolate sauce.
All you need to whip up a batch of this delicious chocolate sauce are five little ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate, butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract! It comes together in just minutes on the stovetop, and if you are really in a pinch for time, you could make this in the microwave for an extra speedy preparation.
It also stores for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator, but in my experience it rarely lasts that long!
The holidays will be here in a snap, and a mason jar full of this luscious sauce is an inexpensive and delicious gift to give from your kitchen!

- Once butter and chocolate are melted, stir in the sugar and mix well. Add in the evaporated milk and use a whisk to combine all the ingredients to a smooth consistency.
