Chocolate Mint Sauce
Ingredients:
- 3 oz Unsweetened chocolate (3 sq)
- 1/4 c Water
- 1 c Sugar
- 1/2 c Light corn syrup
- 1/8 ts Salt
- 2/3 c Light cream or
- 2/3 c Undiluted evaporated milk
- 1/8 ts Peppermint extract
Instructions:
Place chocolate and water in a deep, 1 1/2-quart, heat- resistant, nonmetallic casserole. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 45 seconds or
until chocolate is melted. Stir to blend chocolate and water. Add sugar,
corn syrup and salt. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 9 minutes or
until a candy thermometer reaches 240 degrees F. (If a candy
thermometer is not available, drop a small amount of the mixture into
very cold water. The mixture should form a soft ball which flattens
when removed from the water. DO NOT PLACE THERMOMETER IN
MICROWAVE OVEN.) Stir every minute. Gradually blend in cream and
flavoring. Makes 2 cups
