Method

In a small bowl, combine chocolate and milk and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath, or microwave on medium (50%) for about 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add additional tablespoons of milk as necessary if sauce looks either curdled or too thick. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Use warm sauce immediately or set aside until needed and rewarm briefly. Sauce m
