Rescuing melted chocolate sauce - granular

Spirit_2

Old stylers to the rescue please.

I have managed to mess up melting chocolate for sauce for profiteroles.

I do not have more chocolate so cannot start again. It is granular in texture and floating in the little bit of brandy and water I had added to it.

I need a smooth pouring sauce.

Thanks

It's because you added water to it that's made it go grainy. I'm not sure you can actually do anything to save it.

Its seized, Water 'll do that.

You could try adding a very small pat of trex/ vegtable shortening if you have some?

Thanks all. It is in the bin and OH is on his way to the petrol station to buy chocolate so we can start again.

You can make a chocolate sauce by gently heating equal quantities of cocoa and golden syrup.
