Dinners at my Grandma’s house were special events. 

Her house welcomed us with the warm aromas of home cooking. 

As much as the dinner table had overflowed with steaming garden vegetables, savory mains, gravies, home preserved pickles and relishes, the dessert table was equally as spectacular.

Three flavours of ice cream, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, whipped shortbread, ginger, peanut butter, chocolate chip and sugar cookies, cream pies, fruit tarts, marble cake, chocolate cake, fudgy brownies, apples, bananas, sprinkles…

…and her famous cocoa sauce in pint jars to pour over whatever we could fit on our plates.

Each dessert combination was a delicious adventure: imagination covered in a chocolatey, syrupy indulgence.

After dessert, the adults would make their way to the living room, coffees rich with cream and cocoa sauce.  We would find Grandma’s stash of comics and snuggle into quilts with hot cocoa.  She would swirl the warmed milk into the cocoa sauce pint jars to capture every last drop.

It’s still the way I empty my sauce jars: chocolatey milk, hot cocoa, mocha coffee.  And there’s something playful about drinking straight from the jar.

Check out our product pages for mouthwatering dessert recipes and delicious beverages.

My family’s favourites include cocoa sauce over ANY flavour of ice cream and our brunch fruit plate drizzled with cocoa sauce.  I use Cocoa Sauce to flavour and sweeten heavy cream for baking and whipping – a quick dessert topping for fruit when friends pop over.

Please enjoy.

May your chocolatey imagination be as full as my Grandma’s dessert table.
