Chocolate Fudge Sauce

This is one of my favorite sauces when I want something ultra rich and chocolaty.  This fudge sauce thickens as it cools and stores well in the refrigerator for a few weeks. We've been known to take a spoonful from the refrigerator and it tastes like a soft fudge. It reheats nicely, too!  My favorite way to eat it is over my best chocolate cake/brownies ever recipe.  In fact, I freeze the brownies in small squares (they're very rich), and pop the sauce in the refrigerator, and put both in the microwave to reheat briefly and it tastes fabulous! I also discovered recently at a cooking class/demo I was giving (where I discovered I had no small frying pan or saucepan) that you can make it in the microwave within minutes! Yay!  Enjoy!
