Granny made this for Paw Paw to eat while he watched TV at night. It’s always been one of my (Elizabeth) favorite desserts too. I love it best when it molds to the cold ice cream, but it still chewy in texture. Once a friend gave me a jar of a similar sauce that also included a little rum. I’m thinking of testing it with this recipe.
by Granny–Dolores Borel
1 stick butter
2oz unsweetened chocolate (We use Bakers squares.)
2 Tbsp light corn syrup
1 pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
In a sauce pan combine butter, chocolate, syrup, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat. Add milk and bring to a boil cooking until slightly thickened. The longer you cook it, the harder it will turn out. Test by dropping a small amount in a cold glass of water. It should form a soft ball. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla–“makes it shiny.” Stir until cool. Serve over vanilla ice cream.
Store leftovers in a glass container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave.
