Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. This sauce is quick, easy and delicious. Plus, it goes great on or with any sweet treat. It's so thick and creamy you won't get enough of it. You can use it on top of ice cream, frozen yogurt, pancakes, waffles or even use it as a dipping sauce for fruit and pretzels. I highly recommend using dark chocolate in this recipe because dark chocolate tastes better. You can also use almond, coconut, mint and peppermint extract in place of the vanilla extract and the sauce will be just as tasty.
