Just remember that this chocolate sauce contains alcohol so be mindful of your audience. While most of it will burn off during the cooking process, you should still assume there might be a little alcohol leftover.

Not familiar with the Italian Liqueur Sambuca? Check out this interesting article on this flavorful liqueur. Unfortunately Sambuca can be a little difficult to find depending on where you live and it’s also on the pricey side.

I would suggest buying the smallest bottle you can find unless you plan on using it in other recipes.
