How to Make Best Ever Chocolate Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth. There should be no lumps.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted margarine and 1/2 cup milk to the sugar-cocoa mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 2-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  5. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing. For an even more intense flavor, refrigerate overnight.
  6. Serve generously over your favorite desserts and enjoy!
