Homemade sauces are the way to go! They make every dessert so much better. Try drizzling this on some chocolate cake, ice cream, or even these delicious dessert nachos.

Homemade Chocolate Sauce

Forget the store-bought sauce! Stay away from that and make this homemade chocolate sauce instead. It is crazy good and goes on just about anything and everything. Homemade sauces are so handy because they can be made on the spot. So whether you need a little extra because you ran out or you just want more, you can have it ready in less than 10 minutes!

This recipe is great too because you can make it sweeter by just adding in a little bit of powdered sugar. This chocolate sauce and this caramel sauce make such a good combo to try on some brownies. If you are feeling really adventurous then you could make this skillet cookie and drizzle it on top. I mean, it’s chocolate sauce. Can you really even go wrong with what you put it on? It’s insanely delicious, give it a try!

Ingredients in Chocolate Sauce

You probably already have most, if not all, of these ingredients already in your kitchen! Little did you know that if you put them all together that they would make this delicious sauce! See all measurements listed below in the recipe card!

• Sugar: For a sweeter taste, use powdered sugar instead.
• Cocoa powder: This will be what gives it that richs, chocolate flavor.
• Whole milk: I like to use whole milk because its not too thick (like heavy cream) but is creamier than regular milk.
• Salt: This will enhance all of the other flavors.
• Vanilla: Vanilla is such a subtle sweetness to this sauce.
• Flour: This can be used if you want your syrup a bit thicker.
