THE BEST CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Use good quality chocolate and cocoa powder. You'll appreciate the difference in this intensely dark and flavorful chocolate sauce. In place of the corn syrup, you can use agave nectar, rice syrup, or golden syrup. Note that it will lend a slightly different flavor to the sauce, but it'll still be absolutely delicious.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.

Tips:
- Start with high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the sauce will be. Use a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Use heavy cream for a richer sauce: Milk can be used, but heavy cream will make the sauce thicker and creamier.
- Don't boil the chocolate: Keep the heat on low and stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Add a little bit of salt to balance the sweetness of the chocolate: This will help to create a more complex flavor.
- Use vanilla extract or liqueur for extra flavor: These ingredients will help to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Chocolate sauce is a versatile ingredient that can be used to top desserts, add flavor to drinks, or even used as a marinade. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious chocolate sauce that will impress your friends and family.
