A house full of sick kids makes blogging hard. I've written about Santa Maria's sauce before, but it is so good that I am completely comfortable posting it again. I consider it a public service—everyone should know about this amazing creation.
Santa Maria's Family Chocolate Sauce Recipe
- 1 bar 70% dark chocolate
- 2 T butter
- 2 T sugar (or to taste – I never measure these quantities, so do taste as you go and adjust accordingly)
- 2 shakes cinnamon
- ¼ t salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 t vanilla extract
Bring everything to a boil, whisking constantly. Turn down heat and boil, low but rolling, for three minutes.
Serve hot over poached pears, vanilla ice cream, walnuts, or anything you desire.
Yum!
You could also add a dash of chipotle pepper for a little zing!
