Ingredients

  • 8 oz. chopped, unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 8 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 14 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 13 cups water

Instructions

Step 1

In a 2-qt. saucepan, combine all ingredients. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and becomes smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, or transfer to a glass jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Before serving, reheat sauce in a saucepan over low heat or in a bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds, as it will thicken when refrigerated.
