I don't usually rate recipes, but felt this one was rated too low. I've made it several times, and refill my 'Smucker's Sundae Syrup' bottle. No one knows the difference, and it is a lot more economical! I follow the recipe exactly, but only simmer for about 3 minutes, and it is thick enough. Perfect amount of chocolate and sweetness.
I loved this chocolate sauce....deep, rich fudgy flavor and a beautiful, silky texture. It was thick enough to coat a spoon and then some! Being also quick and simple to put together, makes it a keeper in my book.
nice flavour, not too sweet, needed more milk for a pouring consistency. Slightly gelatinous texture, one of my kids disliked. Not the best sauce I've had, sauce tended to form a skin due to milk content, however easy to make from store cupboard ingredients .
The flavor is wonderful rich and chocolately but if I had followed the instructions I would have had a loose pudding. I never brought the heat higher than medium-low and reduced it as low as I could as soon as it came to a simmer. I doubt I cooked this for more than 4 minutes and it is really a bit thicker than I would prefer. I am already thinking of dark chocolate powder and perhaps less flour for the next time. Thanks Chef John!
I usually make Sue's Hot Fudge Sauce but decided to try this one tonight. I'm torn because I like Sue's is better yet it calls for 1/2 cup butter and this one only uses 2 TBS. I'm not concerned about calories so I'll probably continue to use Sue's but this was quite good.
Just made this sauce and love it! SO easy had all ingredients in pantry! Rich chocolate taste creamy only thing I changed was simmering time. Took it from 6 minutes down to about 4 because it was thick and I didn't want to scorch it. Still turned out great!
I let the sauce cool down a few minutes before adding the vanilla extract at the end. High heat destroys some of the subtle vanilla flavors. I LOVE this sauce, heated about 25 seconds in the microwave, over Vanilla Ice Cream - Blue Bell, of course! Add a small handful of toasted pecans, very lightly salted and roughly chopped, and you have a Hot Chocolate Pecan Sundae that's to die for!
Very easy to make and it reminded me of my Grandmother's homemade chocolate sauce. This is definitely a keeper.
Just made this tonight and it turned out pretty good. I must admit that I think that will add a little more sugar next time. Delicious!
