Homemade Chocolate Sauce. Hot Caramel Sauce in container on right. |
Caramel sauce at full rolling boil. |
Caramel sauce that's boiled awhile and arrived at the desired golden color. |
Hubby had the sundae above on a Chewy Chunky Blondie out of the freezer. Here's the one I ate yesterday on top of a couple of Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops. (Freshly baked from dough that'd been balled and frozen.) Oh, yeah!! |
Chocolate Sauce
1/4 lb. butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cocoa (or two chocolate baking squares)
Combine all ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring constantly until completely blended. Thickens as it cools. (Sorry, unknown origin of this recipe.)
Hot Caramel Sauce
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until color is golden, skimming off foam as you go. Makes about 2 1/2 cups. Recipe from Babi's Bed and Breakfast, Iowa, as seen in Specialties of the House Cookbook by Julia M. Pitkin. Sauce will separate upon refrigeration. Just reheat to serve.
Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. It's soo gorgeous outside here in western Kentucky--what am I doing on the computer!?! Whassup for you after you finish surfing the computer today? Something memorable, I hope!!

Love the environment friendly focus you have on this blog! It's so nice to meet people with that view on the world, and I think it's what people also need to hear. That chocolate sauce looks absolutely delicious!
Oh my deliciousness!
I love these "not buying it" posts.
You really know how to turn me on, don't you!

i make my own chocolate sauce and the kids love it.
Such ingredients are definitely easy to find at my kitchen. I'll definitely try the hot caramel sauce for our ice cream bonding with friends.

You are definitely my kind of woman! I did in fact make caramel sauce today to put on the apple cake and ice cream served at my father's birthday celebration tonight. The chocolate sauce is my next 'must try'! Thanks.

But, malted milk balls are one of my true weaknesses.
