Hot Fudge Sauce

Hot Fudge Sauce (Dani Carbajal)

1 bag chocolate chips

1 stick butter

1 can condensed milk

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Melt butter and chocolate over a low heat in a heavy saucepan. Slowly add canned milk and powdered sugar alternating a little at a time. Turn up heat and cook for 8 minutes stirring constantly. Take off heat and add vanilla. Refrigerate any unused sauce.

(…but make sure your kids don’t know you put it in there. ‘Cause they might get up early and eat it all for breakfast while you’re still sleeping- which is why I have no picture for you.)

peach sauce with raspberries

These were the Barefoot Contessa Banana & Sour Cream pancakes minus the bananas. The whole reason I made them was to try out the idea I got from this post on a friend's blog. It was actually a post about pancakes, but she mentioned pureeing a can of peaches to top them and I thought it sounded delicious.

I used canned peaches in juice, and when I tasted it I wanted it sweeter so I ended up adding some agave. I think if you used peaches in light syrup that would help, but I'll probably just stick to adding a little agave.

And then I happened to have some raspberries so I figured why not add those. The picture kind of looks like I just spilled orange juice on my plate, but it really was good.
