Fudgy Brown Sugar Chocolate Sauce
Ahhhh chocolate…..
I mean… really…. it’s one of the best things ever. Chocolate makes everything better and you can basically put chocolate sauce on everything right? Chocolate sauce can be overly sweet and flat tasting. I like making mine with brown sugar, cinnamon, coffee, and vanilla. The brown sugar adds a nice earthy molasses richness that I just love. These additions create layers of flavor and depth. I like pouring it over ice cream, desserts, baking with brownies, and mixing in with
coffee
