Tips:
- For a richer chocolate sauce, use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the chocolate sauce by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
- To make a mint chocolate sauce, add 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract to the chocolate sauce.
- For a boozy sundae, add a shot of creme de menthe to the chocolate sauce.
- If you don't have creme de menthe ice cream, you can use vanilla ice cream and add a few drops of creme de menthe to each serving.
