Instructions
Instructions
- Break 8 oz semisweet chocolate into pieces and put them in the bottom of a small saucepan. Set the burner to the lowest possible setting and heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is mostly melted. (If you prefer, melt the chocolate over a double boiler instead to reduce risk of scorching.)
- As soon as the chocolate is almost completely melted, remove the pan from the heat (or turn the burner off) and continue stirring until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Add 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons corn syrup or maple syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to the melted chocolate. Return the pan to very low heat if needed and stir constantly until the mixture is fully combined and glossy.
- Slowly add up to 1/4 cup milk, a tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dipping chocolate reaches the consistency you want. (Use more milk if needed to thin further; the mixture will thicken as it cools.)
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the dipping chocolate to a serving bowl. If it becomes too thick before serving, warm gently over very low heat and stir to loosen.

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: place chocolate and sweetened condensed milk into the bottom of a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each interval. Once the chocolate is mostly melted, keep stirring until its completely melted. Whisk in corn syrup, salt and milk until you get the desired consistency you want. If using cold milk, you may want to microwave again for another 30 seconds to warm it up again. Finish by stirring in vanilla. Serve or store as desired.
