HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SAUCE LAST?

Homemade chocolate syrup has a shorter shelf life than store-bought, so I usually just keep my recipe in the fridge for about 2 weeks. 

CAN YOU REHEAT CHOCOLATE SAUCE?

To reheat the sauce you can warm on the stovetop in a saucepan for about 5 minutes on low heat, stirring regularly. Or, microwave for about 15 seconds at a time until hot.
