Homemade Chocolate Sauce / Easy Homemade Chocolate Sauce

After  a short break,I am joining the Blogging marathon edition 74 and we are entering the 3rd week.
For this week I chose to share some sauces and preserves and today's recipe is an easy to make chocolate sauce.

This sauce can be used as a topping for various desserts,crepes and pancakes.Just need 10-15 minutes to make with 4 easily available ingredients.
Tastes much better than the store bought sauces.Store the sauce in the refrigerator up to 2-3 in a glass bottle.Warm the sauce in the microwave if desired.To make it extra flavorful,add a tsp of vanilla.Off to the recipe......................
