Chocolate dessert sauces are always handy to have in the refrigerator, and they can turn plain food into a delectable delight.
You can keep these chocolate sauces in suitably-sized glass food jars, providing they have tight fitting lids. The sauce should be kept in the refrigerator and, as a rule, will last about three weeks.
Use as a topping for angel food or pound cake, pancakes, crepes, fresh fruit or ice cream. You can also use chocolate sauce as a sweet fondue dip.
Add a square of gingham or calico to the lid, then tie with ribbon, for an appealing gift in a jar for family and friends.
