I prefer making this with 1/2 & 1/2, and add a pinch of salt, a tsp of vanilla extract, & a couple tablespoons of Lyle's Golden Syrup in lieu of corn syrup, as my daughter has a corn allergy. It makes for a really smooth and delectable syrup.
It is easy and works beautifully. I used Scharffen Berger chocolate and shaved it with a chef's knife first, which facilitated the melting and mixing.
Ran a bit low on good semi-sweet chocolate so ended up tossing in random chocolate products, including caramel and liqueur-filled ones (it was just after Christmas so plenty of that around). The sauce proved resilient to muddling and came out great. Might actually be a great use for excess chocolate. :P
Great choclate sauce best I have had
Works amazingly with dairy-free chocolate and full-fat coconut milk for a vegan option!
If you want a fudge sauce, the best recipe is in Joy of Cooking (I have an old copy). If you cook it too long, it will become fudge. It makes authentic hot fudge sauce. The best.
