Chocolate Sauces

Chocolate Sauces

Your basic chocolate sauce can be poured on ice cream, cake, even your breakfast pancakes. But there are also variations to this basic sauce like syrup, chocolate gravy and glazes. Use chocolate syrup to make chocolate milk, chocolate glaze to frost a variety of desserts, and chocolate gravy - best eaten with sweet biscuits! And don't forget the flavored chocolate sauces like mint, kahlua or marshmallow!
