Mix the chocolate sauce. If all the chocolate is not melted after you mix, heat it in the microwave for 15 – 30 seconds.
Whisk the chocolate sauce and allow to cool to room temperature. Note: If you do not use it all, it can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for a week. When you remove from the fridge, it will be solid. Microwave for 15 second intervals, mixing after each 15 seconds, until mixture is just melted.
Serve with churros and dip or drizzle! If you have left overs, it is delicious drizzled over ice cream or use for dipping strawberries and bananas.
