Chocolate Rum Sauce

2 tbsp butter can accommodate up to 8 oz dark chocolate and 3/4 c. of any liquid; the sugar added is merely for sweetness and most chocolate sauce recipes will call for 2 tbsp, regardless if dark or bittersweet chocolate is used. 

Ingredients

1/4 c. half 'n' half

1 tbsp organic cane sugar 

2 tbsp unsalted butter 

4 oz dark chocolate, chopped 

1/4 c. dark rum 

Directions

1. In a heavy saucepan, bring half 'n' half, sugar, and butter to a boil. 

2. Add chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth. 

3. Remove from heat, and when entirely melted, whisk in rum. 

4. Pour over dessert, serve, or whatever.
