CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Category: Dessert Sauces

3/4 cup half and half
1 tbsp butter
1/2 lb semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Combine the half-and-half and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until a thin paper-like skin appears on the top. Don not boil. Add the chocolate and vanilla and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
