HOT FUDGE SAUCE

Recipe Notes

You can add additional light corn syrup if the consistency is too thick, but usually the 1/3 cup recommended is just right.

Ingredients

• 1 c. heavy cream
• 1/3 c. light corn syrup (plus additional for thinning, if needed)
• 12 oz. bag semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp. extract (vanilla, rum, almond, orange or peppermint are some ideas)
  

Instructions

1. Combine heavy cream and corn syrup in small saucepan. Stir to combine, and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and extract. Whisk until chocolate is melted. If necessary, adjust consistency with additional corn syrup.

3. Serve over ice cream.
