Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt optional
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream or up to 1/2 cup--see note
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or bittersweet, 3 ounces
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in cream, honey and salt. Bring just to a boil over medium-low heat.
  • Add chocolate chips, and whisk until completely melted.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa and vanilla. Whisk until no lumps remain, returning to low heat, if needed. Serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
  • To reheat sauce, warm in a saucepan on low, stirring constantly, or microwave in short bursts, stirring in between. Do not boil.

Notes

You can very the amount of cream to suit your needs. I used less cream for a thicker sauce for dessert topping and a higher amount when I want it more pourable.  (Thought heating the sauce is really what makes it liquid enough to pour)
