Single-Serving Chocolate Sauce

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

While I love chocolate sauce, I rarely want to buy a bottle of it because it tends to sit in my fridge for weeks. Not only is this Single-Serving Chocolate Sauce better than store-bought, but it also makes just enough for one serving. Enjoy on ice cream, over pancakes, or as a fruit dip. This also goes well over my Single Serving Brownies, and Single Serving Angel Food Cake. You really can’t go wrong with chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
