Top Pro Tips - For making the perfect Chocolate Caramel fudge sauce

1. Use a heavy-bottomed pan, with tall sides.
2. Chop chocolate into very small pieces. Helps to melt sooner.
3. Always keep your stove on low to low medium.
4. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to, push down the sugar that sticks on the sides. So caramel doesn't recrystallize.
5. Always use dark chocolate. Using Semi-sweet or milk chocolate will give a highly sweetened caramel sauce.
6. Patience - Making caramel takes patience and time, A deep amber color is what we need, before removing it from the fire
7. Do not Stir or use any spoon or spatula to stir. Just tilt the pan to give a slow swirl and nothing else.
8. If your caramel burns, toss and restart. There is no way of saving a burnt caramel.
