Author Notes
The first time I tried the combination of rosemary and dark chocolate at a local chocolate shop it was a revelation. The flavors go together beautifully! It inspired me to create this sauce based on the basic chocolate sauce my grandmother makes. I especially love to pair with anything flavored by vanilla, cream, citrus, or berries, like angel food cake, ice cream, fresh berries, and panna cotta. —Chris Van Houten
