It is easy and works beautifully. I used Scharffen Berger chocolate and shaved it with a chef's knife first, which facilitated the melting and mixing.
I prefer making this with 1/2 & 1/2, and add a pinch of salt, a tsp of vanilla extract, & a couple tablespoons of Lyle's Golden Syrup in lieu of corn syrup, as my daughter has a corn allergy. It makes for a really smooth and delectable syrup.
Ran a bit low on good semi-sweet chocolate so ended up tossing in random chocolate products, including caramel and liqueur-filled ones (it was just after Christmas so plenty of that around). The sauce proved resilient to muddling and came out great. Might actually be a great use for excess chocolate. :P
Can I make it ahead and keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days?
Yeah but you should reheat in a sauce pan while whisking often to keep it from splitting
Great choclate sauce best I have had
Works amazingly with dairy-free chocolate and full-fat coconut milk for a vegan option!
