Rich Hot Fudge Sauce

I've been going through some of my blog posts that are just in the draft stage and came upon this recipe I started to post back in 2010. I never published the post but I'm not sure why, so I'm publishing it now. It sounds good, as it has both cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate. I've got several ice cream topping recipes on the blog. Check them out by clicking on the labels at the bottom of the post.

1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup butter, cubed
1  1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
pinch  salt
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp light corn syrup
2 squares (1-oz each) unsweetened chocolate
3 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tsp rum extract

In a heavy saucepan, combine cream and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Add the sugars and salt, and cook until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly; about 4 minutes. Stir in the cocoa and corn syrup; cook and stir for 3 minutes.

Add the chocolate and cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-16 minutes or until desired thickness is reached, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in the extracts. Cool slightly. Serve warm over ice cream. Refrigerate leftovers.
