We made this in the crock pot and absolutely loved it. Not only was it wonderful, but we have a family member who has Celiac, so the fact that it is gluten free made it even better. I just ordered a bunch of jars of Hot Chocolate Sauce so I can have some on hand for what is going to easily be a favorite family go-to recipe. Thank you!!!!!

We made this this dish tonight. Everyone loved it! I met you at the Chicago Artisan Market and I bought 3 different jars of Chocolate and Caramel. It’s all so very delicious. You mentioned this recipe so I had to check it out. Great flavor, lots of depth and I cannot wait until tomorrow so I can have some leftovers.
