👍 Amira's Tips
- This sauce will be thin while it's still hot, however it will thicken as it cools down.
- Make sure that you stir the sauce constantly while it's cooking, as chocolate can stick to the pan and scorch quickly.
- A light boil means small bubbles will break the surface of the liquid. This is not a full rolling boil.
