Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1¾ cup butter, cubed
1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 cup baking cocoa
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 2 teaspoons rum extract
Directions1. In a heavy saucepan, combine cream and butter. Cook and
stir over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Add the sugars and salt; cook
and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cocoa and corn
syrup; cook and stir for 3 minutes or until cocoa is blended.
2. Add chocolate; cook and stir 3-4 minutes longer or until
chocolate is melted. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-16 minutes or until
desired thickness is reached, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir
in extracts. Cool slightly. Serve warm over ice cream. Refrigerate
leftovers.
Yield: about 3-1/2 cups.
