Baileys Irish Cream Dark Chocolate Sauce

Cook's notes:

You don't need a St. Patrick's Day party or another festive occasion to serve this dark chocolate sauce made with Baileys Irish Cream. I just needed my neighbor giving me several pints of fresh raspberries. There's nothing better with raspberries than chocolate. Oh, my, the taste is incredible and it spoons on thick like a fudge topping. You can store it in refrigerator in a covered container. The sauce can be reheated and thinned out adding more cream.  The recipe makes about 1-1/4 cups of sauce and would be great spooned over angel food or pound cake. 

I guarantee you'll be licking the pan!

Ingredients:

• 3 TB. heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
