Nicely done, Syd. This is the perfect chocolate sauce. Love the tang from the orange peels. I had an extra large orange and used all of the peel, because I knew it would give an extra kick of flavor. Will use this again and again. Thnx for posting. Made for PRMR recipe tag game. -
PRMR March 09: SydMike - EXCELLENT SAUCE!! I served over fresh strawberries!! -
This was a very tasty rich sauce. I tried to make this a bit more figure friendly, so I used skim milk mixed with corn starch and also used margarine. This sauce also keeps in the fridge for quite a while and still tastes great when you re-heat it.
