Chocolate Butter Sauce

Chocolate Butter Sauce has a richer texture and more luxurious sheen than ganache. The liquid in this recipe can be anything with which the sauce might be flavored, such as strong coffee, brandy, whiskey, or liqueur; water can also be used for a plain chocolate flavor. Chocolate butter sauce, when cold, is stiffer than regular ganache, hence its appeal to those who like ice cream with hot fudge sauce.
