Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low and add chopped chocolate. Stir constantly until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Let cool slightly before serving. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content.
Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste.
Delicious over ice cream, pancakes, or as a dip for fruit.
