  • 2 tablespoons butter , cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add chocolate, half and half, and cubed butter to a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan filled with simmering water.
  • Stir chocolate mixture as it melts, it will be lumpy and grainy at first, but will come together once chocolate is fully melted. Stir until smooth.
