Ingredients

▢ 200 grams bar-one - or Mars bar (UK) or Milky Way (US)
▢ 200 millilitre double cream - or single cream
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Slice the chocolate bars into small bite-sized pieces.
200 grams bar-one
Add the heavy cream, chocolate pieces and vanilla extract to a medium-sized saucepan. Set the heat to medium-low and begin gently stirring as the cream warms up.
200 millilitre double cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Initially, the chocolate will melt, followed by the caramel, which may leave behind some clumps of congealed nougat centres - this is expected.
Continue stirring the mixture, ensuring it stays below boiling point. Use a spatula to squish down any remaining clumps of nougat. They will gradually break down as you stir.
Once the sauce is velvety smooth, remove it from the heat.
If you still encounter any stubborn nougat pieces, a quick blend with a stick blender should help smooth them out.
Transfer the sauce to a serving jug and let it cool slightly before serving. (The longer it sits and cools, the thicker it will become.)

Notes

Variations

You can enhance the sauce with these delicious additions:

A shot of whisky or rum (reduce the cream by the same amount)

A shot of Amarula, Baileys or Kahlúa (reduce the cream by the same amount)

Other flavour extracts like coffee or caramel.

Mini marshmallows.

Sea salt flakes.
