Preparation
- Step 1
Place chocolate, butter and ⅓ cup boiling water in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over very low heat. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Stir in corn syrup and sugar.
- Step 2
Increase heat to medium and stir occasionally until mixture comes to a full boil. Stop stirring and allow mixture to boil exactly 8 minutes. Meanwhile, half-fill a bowl that is larger than the saucepan with ice and water. After 8 minutes remove pan from heat and place in ice water to stop cooking. Stir in vanilla.
- Step 3
Serve while still warm, or allow to cool, then reheat over hot water or for about 30 seconds in a microwave oven. Sauce must be served warm.

This was a DISASTER. I didn't even let it boil for 6 minutes before I could smell it burning and when I put it in the ice bath it turned to a complete BRICK. Horrible!
Turned out well - thickness is good. I used high quality unsweetened chocolate chips. I will cut the sugar a bit next time to give it a deeper fudge taste.
I followed the directions and had the same experience as Sarah. As soon as it cooled it set up into a solid black mass. Hard as a rock. It reminded me of obsidian. I also smelled a burning smell early in the 8-minute boil time. I will heat it to serve it on ice cream but I suspect it will seize up and be hard to break apart and eat with a spoon. I hope I am wrong about this. UPDATE: I was not wrong. A ridiculous waste of chocolate!
I used a low heat while boiling -- just hot enough to maintain a low rolling boil. It was a fabulous dark chocolate!
