Gone!! And, so many people wanted it!!

Hot Fudge Sauce:

6 Tbs. cocoa powder
1/3 cup boiling water
3 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
1 cup sugar
2 Tbs. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract

To make the hot fudge sauce, in a small, heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa with just enough of the boiling water to make a thick paste, whisking with a fork (if you add all the water at once, the lumps will be hard to break up). Add the remaining boiling water, whisking until the cocoa dissolves. Set the pan over low heat and add the butter. When it melts, stir with a wooden spoon, then stir in the sugar and corn syrup.

Slowly bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally; do not allow it to boil. When small bubbles form around the edges of the pan, simmer, without stirring, until glossy and thick, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a clean spoon, stir in the vanilla. If not using the sauce right away, keep warm in a double boiler.
