1939.0. "Chocolate Sauce, Low Fat! Low Calorie!" by IOWAIT::WILDE (Ask yourself..am I a happy cow?) Wed Aug 16 1989 13:04

Lower calorie, much lower in fat than you expect....and you can still
have chocolate!  I use the buttermilk chocolate sauce over a slice of
angel food cake and fresh peaches...it would also be nice over a
meringue cup filled with fruit.
