  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Melt

  • To a small saucepan, add butter granulated sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, and salt.
  • Cook over MED HIGH heat, whisking until mixture comes to a low boil. Boil gently for about a minute, whisking very frequently.

Notes

  1. This recipe makes approximately 1 3/4 - 2 cups of fudge sauce, which I've estimated will serve about 12 (with 2-3 Tbsp for a serving), but feel free to divide it into as many servings as you'd like.
