Easy Homemade Chocolate Sauce For Ice Cream

I've given this away as a gift and made it 3 times for my own family.  It is one of those recipes that I  know I will be in the family for a very long time--it is SOOO good.  It is quick, it uses ingredients we usually have on hand, and it tastes WAY better than store bought chocolate sauce.  When I served it to my husband, he just kept grunting and saying "MMM"& "YUM" as he scraped his bowl clean.  I'm surprised he didn't get his face in it and lick it clean!  Yes, it is that good.

Here is the recipe, it is from recipebzaar.com.  It was recommended by another blog, but I can't remember which one, which I'm feeling pretty bad about because they deserve a big thanks from me!
