Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 oz. dark chocolate (I use 70-85% dark chocolate bars
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 4 TBSP Bailey's Irish Cream

Instructions

  • Place heavy cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa, salt and half of the chocolate in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Bring mixture to a boil then let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly otherwise the mixture will scotch and burn.
  • Remove pan from heat and add the rest of the chocolate, the butter, vanilla, and the Bailey's. Mix well and then let rest for 20-30 minutes.
  • Pour into jars to store or over ice cream to enjoy immediately.
