- ½ teaspoon salt
Fudge Ingredients:
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup is optional but adds glossiness
- ½ cup heavy cream
Toppings:

Directions –
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Then, add eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt and whisk until combined.
Scoop the batter into the pan and spread it into one even layer. Bake for 27 to 33 minutes.

TO MAKE GANACHE
Place chocolate chips and corn syrup into a large heatproof bowl and set aside.
Heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Pour in the heavy cream over the chocolate. Mix with a rubber spatula until combined.
