HELLO friends!  This time of year can be fun and daunting. Especially if you’ve been racking your brain, when it comes to gift ideas.  Am I right?  To me, homemade is always my favorite way to go.  Whether I’m on the giving or receiving end.  With that said, I’ve got a favorite gift I’ve given to friends & neighbors over the years… and it’s always a HIT.  It’s a homemade chocolatey dessert topping that is easy & great for gift giving!  WIN-WIN!  This homemade CHOCOLATE SAUCE is the creamiest & chocolate-est, topping ever.

Seriously, when I say it’s easy… who doesn’t like a homemade gift that will seriously take less than 30 minutes of your time to make?! It involves simple ingredients, doesn’t cost a lot, add a cute little tag & voila!  The perfect gift for any serious chocolate lover!

Cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and a few other ingredients go into a pot and are melted into a smooth, dark concoction.  It turns out smooth, super glossy, chocolatey and did I say smooth? Pour into jars and tie a cute tag and you’re done.  I even designed a cute tag for you to print off and use.

Be sure to blend the dry ingredients together really well before pouring into the saucepan.  It will give you a much creamier texture. One without grainy lumps!  Just whisk them together, (as shown in this picture above)!
