These are Gary Rhodes recipes:

Chocolate Sauce

Melt 8oz (225g) plain chocolate in a bowl placed in a pan of simmering water and add 8fl oz double cream (250ml). Stir in 1oz (25g) unsalted butter and stir until all melted.

Mars Bar Sauce:

Place one 65g mars bar in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted. This makes a chocolatey, toffee sauce. You can also add a few tablespoons of single cream to make it less strong.

Any tried and tested that are nice?

I adore hot choloate fudge cake when dining out, but have looked all over and so many different recipes really don't know which to try. I already have the cake, just need something lovely to go with it.

Anyone got a nice one ? Would love the recipe if you have

There's one I've used once, it was very tasty but very rich and didn't stay goey for quite as long as I wanted it too but its

2 1/2 oz marge or butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
9 oz seived icing sugar
3 tbsp hot milk
1 tsp vanilla essence

melt marge/butter, stir in cocoa, stir in icing sugar, add milk and vanilla then beat until smooth.

Maybe if you added a bit more milk it might be a bit more goey?

I used to work in a restaurant and the chef used to make a fab pear belle helene, basically two pear halves sandwiched together with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce poured over it. He made the chocolate sauce using chocolate vermicelli dissolved in milk and well stirred.

Believe me it's nothing like you expect from dissolving chocolate vermicelli in milk, it results in a gorgeous thick glossy chocolate sauce.

I have made it since and everyone loves it, though no one guesses it's so simple. Supercook do tubs of chocolate vermicelli. Sorry can't give exact quantities as it is one of those things I have never really measured, but as a rough guide start with about 1/4 pt milk. warm and add 2 tbsp vermicelli, you can always thin the sauce with more milk or thicken with more vermicelli.

Is vermicelli the chocolate version of 100s n 1000s?

I use good quality chocolate, butter and cream melted together. Yummy.

And yes, vermicelli is 100s and 100s (or thousands and millions as my children call it).

What type of cream do you use Penny ? Double/single etc ? (Got cake left so can try another )

If you melt 2-3 Mars bars with a drop of milk in a bowl over boiling water it makes lovely choc sauce - prob would work in a microwave - but I don't have one. Own brand bars work well - and it goes really well with vanilla ice cream - I even served this to guests recently.
