Mr. Pete’s Chocolate Fudge Sauce

1 ¾ cup heavy cream

¾ cup brown sugar

¼ cup butter, cut into small pieces

2 ¾ cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/8 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:  In a heavy saucepan over low heat, bring the cream just to a boil than 

add the brown sugar and stir just until it dissolves.  Add small pieces of butter until 

completely melted, then stir in the chocolate chips.  Wait 3 to 5 minutes so that 

chocolate is very soft before folding it in with a spatula.  Stir in the salt and vanilla 

and blend until well incorporated.  Let cool for 15 minutes; it will thicken as it cools.

Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator in a glass jar.  Heat until warm but not 

hot, before serving.

Comment:  Paula Deen says this is the best chocolate sauce ever!
