Ragged Coast Chocolates, a Maine-based producer of chocolates and artisanal baking mixes, has announced the launch of Ragged Coast Dessert Sauces. Handmade in small batches with local ingredients, Ragged Coast Chocolates Dessert Sauces include Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge, Salted Honey Caramel and Rye Whiskey Caramel, and are now available online.

“Ragged Coast Dessert Sauces are fun and multi-purpose—they can be used as a filling or frosting, in hot chocolate and coffee drinks, and to top my favorite food in the world: ice cream,” says Ragged Coast Chocolates founder Kate Shaffer. “As with all our products, we’re exceptionally choosy about our dessert sauce ingredients. We use local Maine butter and cream, real vanilla beans, organic sugar, no corn syrup--and as always, direct-trade dark chocolate from Latin America to make these decadent and versatile toppings,” continued Shaffer.

Together with its recently launched chocolate-centric baking mixes, the three new Dessert Sauces are part of the expanding Ragged Coast Chocolates Pantry Collection. The sauces mirror customer-favorite confections that are the heart of Ragged Coast Chocolates. Just like the original chocolates, Ragged Coast Dessert Sauces are handmade in small batches with butter, cream, honey and other Maine ingredients.

Ragged Coast Chocolates Dessert Sauces include:

• Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce – Salted Honey Caramel Sauce combined with 65% single origin dark chocolate from Belize
• Salted Honey Caramel Sauce – Light amber in color and speckled with real vanilla beans. It’s cooked slowly (to ensure plenty of flavorful caramelization) with fresh Maine butter and cream, and locally-produced honey
• Rye Whiskey Caramel Sauce – Starts with organic sugar, Maine cream and butter, all brought together with a healthy glug of New England Distilling Gunpowder Rye Whiskey

Ragged Coast Chocolates Dessert Sauces can be dolloped over ice cream, drizzled on French Toast, folded into whipped cream or stirred into coffee for a coffee shop treat. The Dessert Sauces pair well with other products in the Ragged Coast Chocolates Pantry Collection, such as Craft Chocolate Brownie Mix, Chocolate Cake Mix and Chocolate Chunk Scone Mix.
