OK, my wife & I had a family wedding shower for her cousin. Her sister was bringing a pound cake so my wife asked me to make a chocolate sauce that I make about once a year for my daugther. The chocolate sauce recipe is from Julia Child's "The Way to Cook," so it's the real thing -- chocolate, corn syrup, sugar, cocoa, chocolate squares, butter (1 1/2 sticks!), heavy cream, vanilla, etc. It is served warm or hot. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but it is unbelieveable.

I doubled the recipe, which was a mistake. Only about half got eaten, so I have 2-3 cups of this incredible chocolate sauce. My wife has gone to China for a week and my kids are away at college, so it's just me and the cat here. Do I just throw it out, save a little to eat and throw most of it out, or what??? I'm totally serious, what would everyone here do?
