Chocolate Sauce (grain free, dairy free, egg free, GAPS-legal)

I've been experimenting lately with a new version of hot fudge/chocolate sauce.  I love my old recipe...but it has flour and butter.  So I can't eat it.  Why do I need hot fudge in the first place?  Well, I guess I don't.  But...I use it to take my cod liver oil :P  I'm a wimp.  But just a little chocolate sauce with my chocolate gel CLO makes it so much easier to take.  So I've been experimenting.  And I think I made a batch that is really good...and safe (if you consider cocoa safe for you).  I used my old recipe as a starting point.  And after some not so successful experiments here is what I came up with/what I like.  Added bonus...one more way to get coconut oil in my diet :)  This tastes wonderful on mint coconut milk ice cream.  As usual, I didn't measure anything.  And I made a small batch since I was experimenting.  But I'll try to estimate quantities.  Not the best pictures, but you get the idea.
Chocolate Sauce

1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp. chocolate extract
2 Tbsp. coconut oil

Combine cocoa, water and honey in sauce pan.  Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat. Stir in extract and oil.  Mix until well combined.  Poor into jar and store in teh refrigerator.

If the coconut oil rises/hardens let the sauce come to room temperature and stir before using.
