Looking for an easy to make, delicious chocolate sauce? This recipe is super easy and absolutely delicious!

In honor of Chocolate Day, I am sharing this Hot Chocolate Sauce recipe.  It is soooooo easy to make and absolutely delicious!  I even use it in my coffee almost every morning!

This homemade hot chocolate syrup would make a great gift for the upcoming holidays!  Just be sure to keep it in the refrigerator before you give it as a gift!  Include a copy of the recipe so that your friends and family can make it for themselves or simply include instructions on how to make frozen hot chocolate or hot cocoa!

On this blog, I may sometimes use affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you purchase via the link. The price will be the same whether you use the affiliate link or go directly to the vendor’s website using a non-affiliate link.  By using my affiliate links to shop, it helps me to be able to continue bringing you fresh new ideas and projects!  Thank you! 

If you are concerned about the amount of sugar in the Hot Chocolate Sauce, a sugar substitute such as one made with stevia can be substituted for the sugar.  I have made it with the Aldi brand stevia sweetener, and it is just as amazing as the original recipe.  If you are using a sugar substitute, you would use the same amount of sugar substitute as you would sugar.

Another tip:  I usually make a double batch and freeze the 2nd portion until I am ready to use it.

After the Hot Chocolate Sauce has been in the refrigerator, be sure to stir it well before using.  The chocolate will settle at the bottom of the jar.

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
