3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (use Hershey's!)
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup butter (not margarine!)
1 tsp vanilla
Combine sugar, cocoa, evaporated milk and corn syrup together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Actually, forget about stirring. You want to whisk. You want to whisk and never stop whisking. The more whisking you do, the happier you will be. When it starts to boil, it will be like thick gloppy mud-bubbles. Ploop! Plop! Bloop! Let it do that for five minutes while you keep whisking.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Serve over ice cream - I recommend Bluebell Natural Vanilla Bean. Also excellent over Homemade Vanilla. ALSO it doubles as a chocolate fondue, stand over the stove and dip fruit in it!
Refrigerate any leftovers.
You may want to eat a bowl of this before you go to bed but I highly suggest you don't do that because you will sugar buzz yourself crazy and not fall asleep until 2am and then you will have crazy dreams where you're riding around in travel camper with Jay and Silent Bob, and they are trying to sell you a jar of sliced black olives, but you're sorry, you really don't want any, guys. Thanks, though!
ReplyDeleteHAHA.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try this as a Saturday-sitting-on-the-porch kind of thing. A yes-this-is-your-lunch-what-else-did-you-expect? kind of thing.
I'm going to upgrade my instructions to say "definitely add a little milk every time you reheat it." Just a little, but it helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteAlso, please dip a strawberry in it.
