A New Addition to Our Holiday Menu #moms #recipe #baking

While looking for new holiday recipes to try, I came across this recipe for Chocolate Peppermint Roll on Bakers Royale.I decided to test this on the family prior to the holiday to avoid any mishaps. While I have made Pumpkin Rolls, I just wanted to be sure this would pass muster. Let me tell you, pass it did! This was raved about. In fact, I had one for the family and one for some friends to get a wider perspective. They all requested the recipe! I have the feeling this one will become an annual addition to the holiday menu!

Chocolate Pouring Sauce

• 2/3 cups dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
• 4-5 tablespoons water, warm

1. Place chocolate and heavy cream in a bowl over simmering water. Let chocolate and cream sit for 2-3 minutes to melt without stirring. Then slowly stir mixture to combine. Add powdered sugar and mix to combine. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until pouring consistency is reached. Set aside and let sauce cool to warm.
