Mine is purely made up and done by eye more than anything else so probably not the best one but it is really yummy and may just take a couple of attempts for you to get right.
I don't use measuring spoons for it just the usual ones. I add about a tablespoon of butter (heaped), 2 or 3 of sugar and about 2 of cocoa. Melt it all down in a saucepan and then slowly add milk until it looks about right - like chocolate sauce so runny and mixed in. Bring it to the boil for about 2-5 mins and then take off. Works every time - as it cools it thickens up so you can have it either hot or cold. -------------

Thanks Peanut, will be giving this a go. Any idea roughly how much milk? Will it keep in the fridge for a day or two? -------------

Around a cup I would say. I tell you its all just guesstimates but at least gives you are rough idea.
Keeps in the fridge really well but will thicken up so just a matter of re heating it. Will make it tonight and see what the exact quanities are  -------------

Peanut, did you ever note down the measurements to your chocolate sauce recipe? I tried to make it tonight and it was a disaster! haha. Had way too much cocoa and not enough sugar. Would love the accurate measurements to try again if you did manage to figure them out  ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

Mine is
2T butter 2T white sugar 2T golden syrup 2T cocoa 2T water Put all into pot, bring to boil, then simmer for 2 minutes without stirring. The longer you leave it to simmer the more fudger it becomes. Very yummy ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I just do half and half - half cream and half chocolate :)
heat the cream but make sure its not boiling! take cream off the heat and whisk in the chocolate! this lates for a wee while if you keep it in the fridge. it usually goes hard in the fridge and you can just scoop out a couple of spoons and heat as its needed - and it is so so so good. we used this at the hotel when I was cheffing there |

Nope, never managed to note them down!
To your one I would have just added more sugar and milk and that would counteract the cocoa. Not much help at all, sorry. |
