Homemade Hot Fudge

Ingredients

• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Set a medium saucepan over medium low heat and add everything except the vanilla. Stir until the mixture is smooth, combined, and fully melted.
2. Turn the heat up to medium and let the sauce come to a gentle boil, stirring often. Keep it cooking for 3 minutes, continuing to stir often.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the vanilla. Let the sauce cool a bit, to about 140 degrees F, before you serve it.
