GFCF Chocolate Sauce

Gluten Free Casein Free Chocolate Sauce Recipe Ingredients: 1 cup vanilla almond milk (if using regular almond milk, just add a little gfcf vanilla) 2 cups gfcf chocolate chunks (I use a dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate) Directions: Add milk to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
