This indulgent and delicious Hot Fudge Sauce is easy to prepare and perfect for drizzling over ice creams and other desserts.

The key to making this a successful recipe is to pay attention to each step, starting with melting the butter, heavy cream, corn syrup/honey, brown sugar, cocoa and salt in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Continuing the process at a low heat will ensure that the chocolate is completely melted. As the last step, add vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and stir until the sauce is completely smooth. If needed to thin, add more cream.

The end result is a decadent pudding-like sauce that is great with a variety of desserts. It can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and should be reheated before serving.
