Use a good quality chocolate like Vahlrona, Scharffen Berger, or Guittard (many others, but these are my favorites). There is a huge difference in these chocolates which you will notice. Allow a chocolate, any chocolate to just melt on your palate. Pay attention to the mouth feel. Vahlrona leaves you with a clean palate, the typical grocery store chocolate leaves a waxy film.
If you cannot find one of the premium chocolates, the others will do, as this is what most people are used to eating, but if you really want to wow them with flavor, sometimes you get what you pay for.
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
4 ounces semisweet chocolate or white chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine milk and sugar in heavy-bottom saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Add small pieces of chocolate, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, until sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and add butter, stir until melted, add vanilla extract. Liqueur may be added if desired.

About Me
- Twango
- I'm a chef, YaYa, & a single mom of 2. I hold 3 degrees, all pertaining to the culinary world. Creating things in the kitchen is my passion, whether it be hot food, cold food, desserts, or charcuterie. I love good coffee and could probably be considered a snob in those regards. Coffee is a pleasure and the better the coffee, the better the pleasure. I love history, both ancient and recent. Archaeology, Ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, & the Roman Empire grab my attention with a quickness. I also enjoy reading. While my preferred books are from the culinary field, I also enjoy non-fiction of any kind, especially true crime, but I've also been known to dig into a novel by Rebecca Wells, Stephen King, Jackie Collins, and many others. Reading keeps the mind active in addition to the creative process going. I've found that admiring anothers creativity helps me in my own. Whether you are talking about paintings, drawings, sculptings, photos, or the written word. Constantly learning keeps our minds constantly growing. I am fanatical in regards to nutrition, organic foods, and cannot stand the thought of GMOs.
