CHOCOLATE FUDGE SAUCE
I use Golden Syrup for the Chocolate Fudge Sauce. However, if you can't find it, light corn syrup or light agave nectar will work well, too. Although Dark Chocolate with 70% cocoa content may seem a little too dark for any milk chocolate lover's liking, that is not the case-I find it works perfectly, especially since it is diluted a bit by the cream and the other ingredients. 70% cocoa content is ideal, but if you don't have that on hand, use whatever you have- I wouldn't go below 64% cocoa content, though.

Steps:
- Place the chopped dark chocolate and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and heat until the chocolate has melted.
- With the pan off the heat, stir in the golden syrup, followed by the heavy cream, confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt.
- Transfer to a glass jar or heatproof container with a lid, and serve over the ice cream of your choice. Can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days (that is, if you're not sharing!). Re-warm before serving.

AGAVE-SWEETENED CHOCOLATE GLAZE
For those of us who prefer to sweeten with agave, this glaze, which can also moonlight as a dipping sauce, is a godsend. You'll need to store it at room temperature to prevent it from getting too thick.
