For a twist on traditional chocolate sauce, the almond-flavored liqueur amaretto can be added. Created in just a few minutes using a small skillet, warm chocolate sauce can be served with various desserts or as a garnish for cupcakes. To create amaretto chocolate sauce, cream, sugar and butter are heated to a boil. Chocolate chips or chunks are added and allowed to melt. Finally, the amaretto flavoring is added in to create a smooth and flavorful sauce.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeayR6CmP14
Amaretto is just one of several secondary flavorings that can be used in a chocolate sauce. Other liqueurs like Grand Marnier, or liquors such as brandy and rum can be added in place of the amaretto, or spices like cayenne pepper or chili powder can add a smoky flavor and a little zing to the classic sauce.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjlNwvGaFb8ccc
