By ctozzi

Ingredients

• 6 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Bring chocolate, sugar, coffee, corn syrup, and salt to a boil in a saucepan, stirring to melt chocolate. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until barely warm but still pourable, about 20 minutes. Use immediately.
