Chocolate Fudge Sauce, Filling and Glaze
from the book Cupcakes! by Elinor Klivans

SAUCE OR FILLING
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces
1 1/2 cups semisweet choc. chips
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan, heat the cream and butter over low heat until the cream is hot and the butter has melted. The mixture should form tiny bubbles and measure about 175 F on a thermometer. Do not let it boil. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the chocolate chips, and let them sit in the hot cream for about 30 seconds to soften. Add the vanilla and whisk the sauce until it is smooth and all the chocolate has melted.

GLAZE
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tsp. unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces
3 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Same instructions as above, just add the corn syrup to the cream and butter!
