- 1/8 teaspoon salt optional
- 1/4 cup whipping cream or 1/3 cup--see note
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or bittersweet, 3 ounces
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

- Add chocolate chips, and whisk until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa and vanilla. Whisk until no lumps remain, returning to low heat, if needed. Serve warm. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
- To reheat sauce, warm in a saucepan on low, stirring constantly, or microwave in short bursts, stirring in between. Do not boil.

Notes
- You can very the amount of cream to suit your needs. I used 1/4 cup of cream for a slightly thicker sauce for my pie and 1/3 cup when I was making ice cream hot fudge sauce. (Thought heating the sauce is really what makes it liquid enough to pour)
