Hot Fudge Ice Cream Topping

I love the thick, gooey consistency of this chocolate sauce. It's perfect for ice cream and was the best part of the ice cream cake I made. Makes 2 1/2 cups.

Ingredients
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
6 tbsp corn syrup

Directions
Melt chocolate and butter very slowly in a double boiler or in microwave, stirring frequently until combined.

Meanwhile, heat water to boiling in a small sauce pan. When butter and chocolate have melted, stir mixture into boiling water. Add sugar, corn syrup; mix until smooth. Turn heat up and stir until mixture starts to boil; adjust heat so sauce is just maintained at the boiling point, stirring occasionally boil for 9 minutes.

Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm over ice cream or add to ice cream cake.
