 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4  cup           water
    1      cup           light corn syrup
    1 1/3  cups          sugar
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
    4      ounces        unsweetened chocolate -- coarsely chopped
      1/2  cup           alkalized (Dutch process) cocoa powder
    4      tablespoons   unsalted butter -- (1/2 stick)
      1/4  cup           heavy cream
    1      tablespoon    vanilla extract
 
 "This is one of those really rich hot fudge sauces that hardens as it hits
 ice cream," Malgieri writes.
 
 Combine water, corn syrup and sugar in a nonreactive pan and bring to a
 boil, stirring often, until all the sugar crystals have melted.  Boil 1
 minute without stirring.
 
 Remove from heat and add the salt and the chocolate.  Allow to stand 2
 minutes until chocolate has melted, then whisk smooth.
 
 Sift the cocoa into a mixing bowl and stir in enough of the liquid mixture
 to make a paste, then stir the cocoa paste smoothly back into the syrup.
 Whisk in the butter, cream and vanilla.
 
 Store the sauce in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator.  Reheat
 opened jar over simmering water before serving.  Makes about 2 cups.
