Hot fudge from KW

2 c (2/3 c.) dark cocoa powder
1 c (1/3 c.) or less? brown sugar (lakanto monkfruit is also pretty good)

2 c (2/3 c.) half and half (I used half heavy cream and half whole milk, 1% milk was too watery-try more hc or look for a ganache recipe)
1-1/1/4 c (1/4-1/3 c.) light corn syrup (or maple syrup is better)
1 c (1/3 c.) butter, cut into pieces (4.5 T was enough for the small batch)
1 1/2 t. (1/2 t.) peppermint extract (optional)

Sift to remove lumps (optional-I kind of like the lumps) or mix cocoa powder and brown sugar then add half and half in a small pot on medium low heat, stirring occasionally. As it begins to warm and dissolve the sugar, add corn syrup and butter. Sitr until butter melts and all is evenly combined.

Once it's hot, remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract, if desired.
