It tastes exactly how I hoped, but tell me, am I supposed to stir while it boils? It makes me nervous to just leave it. I have been stirring and it's finally starting to thicken a little after about 20 minutes. If I didn't stir what would happen? Question from a novice:

(I'll update this post with a link to it now -- I forgot.) You can leave out the peppermint and add some vanilla if you want a traditional flavor, like this one has. Hope that helps.

The corn syrup/butter seems to have separated from the chocolate and looks like lard sitting on top and in between the chocolate. Doesn't look very appetizing. I also had problems with the corn syrup not mixing with the chocolate while cooking. Any idea why this may be? It stayed on top and popped and boiled right out of the pot. Even when I stirred it, it never wanted to come together. I'm taste testing this today but something tells me it isn't going to turn out well. Any suggestions???

You must like it VERY bittersweet with only 1/3c sugar! I have the old Silver Palate cookbook and the original recipe seriously calls for 1-2/3c sugar.

The first batch I accidentally left out half the water, so it thickened up very quickly. The second batch had all the water, and actually boiled instead of just glurping quietly in the pan. I substituted half the rum for vanilla, because the plain rum was a bit rumm-y for my chocolate tastes. I also made this with Ghirardelli chocolate chips, as that was what I had on hand, and omitted the sugar. It all came together just fine, and wasn't too sweet at all with the corn syrup.

I've made it quite a few times now. I brought it as a hostess gift to a BBQ right off the stove hot...and guess what they had just made homemade vanilla ice cream that day, it was amazing! We're also going to a cocktail party tomorrow night and I'm going to bring a jar of this sauce hot with a container of ice cream as a hostess gift instead of your standard bottle of wine!
