Merlot Chocolate Sauce

By -
Indulge this Valentine's Day with a wine chocolate sauce sure to satisfy the tastebuds. This simple 3-ingredient sauce is so easy to make, it can be whipped up in no time. All you need is butter, red wine, and chocolate.


The sauce was silky and smooth, and we could smell the aroma of merlot as we dipped our strawberries in the sauce. We indulged even more by sipping on the merlot, which added to the flavor of the sauce.




We found Opera Prima Merlot on sale for only $2.49 at our local grocery store. All the items were on 
sale, including the Belgian dark chocolate. Enjoying wine and treating yourself to new things does not have to be expensive. 









The wine chocolate sauce is also the perfect touch to a date night. Grab skewers and dip different fruits and marshmallows. We can't lie to you, it was so good we started using our fingers. Not to go too far into detail, we will keep it PG, you and your date can really get creative. 


  Ingredients
3 tbsp's butter
3 tbsp's red wine
6 ounces of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips


Directions 
In a non-stick sauce pan, combine all 3 ingredients. Stir over low heat until melted. Make sure you attend to the chocolate, it will melt fast. (Ouch, we burned the 1st batch)!!!

We knew it was going to be fabulous, her family always throws creative and festive parties. The theme was Candyland and everything looked so cute and perfect! As we walked in, we immediately noticed they incorporated wine into the theme. Serving liquor at baby showers has become quite popular. Baby showers are not your old fashioned living room parties with punch and sandwiches, they are carefully thought of productions that can become lavish! Don't feel pressured to serve liquor at the baby shower if you are the planner or the expected mother. Since the mother can't drink herself, it's really up to her how she feels about serving alcoholic beverages. Also it can add to the cost of the event.
