Foolproof
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This took just a few minutes and produced a fanastic chocolate sauce. It doesn't harden . . . but it cools to a nice, thick,... glossy finish.Read more

Cornsyrup?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Anybody with any experience making candy understands the complex properties of corn syrup. It's generally used to make... recipes easier; its much harder to crystalize straight fructose than it is sucrose. Here its used to make the dark chocolate palatable, you could skip it and use milk chocolate if you prefer.Read more

Nice way to make a cake extra special
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very, VERY easy to make and it really adds a certain something special to what could otherwise be a run of the mill cake.
