[Sunday Night](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-serve-plant-based-entrees) Foods is introducing a trio of premium [chocolate dessert sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-sauces) that can be used to create many different sweet treats in an effortless way. There's Sweet + Rich Chocolate, Dark + Decadent Chocolate and Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt varieties, and as the company describes, "Our sauces can easily transform into thousands of sweet treats because they’re made with the same simple ingredients found in most chocolate desserts: unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder, cream, butter, cane sugar, pure vanilla and sea salt."

With the company's '1 sauce, 1000 ideas' campaign, consumers can learn how to use the decadent dessert sauces to make everything from homemade cakes and pies to puddings, frostings and even drinks.

The sauces are shelf-stable, packaged in reusable and recyclable glass jars. Next year, the company plans to introduce more, including sauces that are organic, plant-based and keto-friendly.
