This is amazing! I've followed the directions for fixing the sauce given by others, and it always comes out wonderful. I have switched it up a couple times like this - At Christmas time, I used creme de mint instead of coffee, and candy canes broken up instead of toffee. Also, once I had left over lemon bars - I used those instead of brownies, strawberry syrup instead of coffee, and left off the toffee. It always goes over well.

This was AMAZING! I followed other's advice and did this: Used boneless pork chops and omitted salt (used garlic and b pepper instead. After cooking I removed the chops from the pan and thickened the juice with 3 Tbsp cornstarch mixed with 3 Tbsp cold water making a thick, brown gravy that had a great flavor. I varied using rosemary and thyme instead of sage. Used "Better Than Bouillon" over dry cubes - it is more a beef stock reduction than cubes. Used 1.5 inch thick chops and simmered for 30 minutes.

Added Sriracha to up the "kick". Used low-sodium soy sauce like others suggested. Halved recipe and made in mini crock - worked wonderfully.
