How to Make Decadent Fudge Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of whole milk, 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup of granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and boiling. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (½ stick) of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of your favorite liqueur (optional, but highly recommended!). Continue stirring until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
  4. Allow to cool slightly before storing. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
  5. Enjoy warm or cold!
