You Will Need (11 things)

  • Measuring Cup and spoons
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Corn Syrup (Grease the measuring cup so that the syrup doesn’t stick to it.)
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 3/10 cup Water
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • 2 oz (2 squares) unsweetened Chocolate
  • Small sauce Pot(s)
  • Wooden Spoon or heat-proof rubber spatula

Steps (3 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Melt the chocolate, water, butter, and cocoa powder over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Stop stirring. I mean it—take the spoon out of the pot. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Keep an eye on it—you want it to boil, but not spatter. Boil 7 to 10 minutes, until thick. (How will you know it’s thick if you’re not allowed to stir? Swirl the pot.)

  3. 3

    Let the sauce cool a little bit—you want to eat it hot, not boiling. (It will thicken as it cools.) Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one month. Reheat extra sauce in the microwave.
