Regal Chocolate Sauce
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine chocolate, water, sugar and salt. Cook and stir over low heat until sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Serve hot or cold over ice cream.
Over the years I've tried several different chocolate sauces. They're either too sweet, or they harden on the ice cream, or they're too sticky. This sauce is always just right - not too sweet or sticky. It keeps in the refrigerator for months, and is easy to reheat (at medium power setting) in the microwave.
