I made a dessert for our Valentines dinner and had left over chocolate sauce,I didn't want to throw it away, I mean it's chocolate, I dug around in the fridge to see what I had to go with it, this is it, but it's yummy ( you may want to make the chocolate sauce the day before or the morning of use, mine had thicken well)
